I agree with Quiltsybarb. I, too, use a surgical seam ripper and I find it does a wonderful job 'unsewing' my mistakes. I have had the orginal handle for about five years and have ordered only one set of replacement blades. Six in a pack. Try it you might like it. Lois

I just bought the Fons & Porter seam ripper with the red and white handle and find the handle too short for my hand size. I haven't actually used it yet but, in theory, should it work just fine despite the shortness of the handle?

They sure do. I would like a nickel for everyone I have ever bought. I often look for them at flea markets and buy them in bulk, or when they are on the 50% off on the notions wall. I buy several at a time.
