I can tell you which one I don't like! It's the one by Fons and Porter. It's too thick and not pointy enough. The rubber handle is nice but that's all.

I think I will try a surgical seam ripper! That looks interesting!

I use Havel's ultra pro scalpel type seam ripper. Easy to handle, lightweight and the blades last forever. For $9.99 it comes with 4 replacement blades. I have had mine for over 6 years. Try it, you might like it !

For me it is Clover white handle OR Seam-fix with the rubber ends to erase the little nubbies that form when tearing out the entire border on a quilt. Love it and have one at each sewing space. Cute little minis, too

I have probably a dozen and use them all. One in every draw and every little cup holder/magnetic pin tray. One in every tote/kit. All cheapies but also have used the small rotary cutters.

Definitely the Bernina seam ripper. Small for easy insertion into stitches and sharp--very very sharp. They really are GREAT.

The best & only ripper I use & shared with friend who also loved) is the surgical steel blade. It can be used several different ways quite effectively. Of course, like anything new, you have to be careful when you use it until comfortable with it. Once your past the learning curve, you'll enjoy it.

I love the Dritz minis. Cheap, tiny only I lose them all the time, so I buy lots at a time.

Stork Scissors with the this blades.

Although there are many products of Fons and Porter that I do not care for, I do le their red and white handled 'ripper. It fits my hand well.....until my puppy found it on the floor; before I did and thought the handle was a chewy toy.
