I love my Gingher seam ripper. It has a curved blade and it's retractable and can be replaced. I also love a single edge razor blade. I know, I know, but years & years ago it was what we used. Or at least what my mom & I used.

I just recently bought two new seam rippers and I love them both - the Clover 482 and the Fons & Porter Ergonomic seam ripper. I'd heard good things about both of them, couldn't make up my mind, so bought both.
The one that they replaced was a Dritz ergonomic that had a thick tip that made it difficult to get small stitches out, and one day when I was taking buttons off a shirt, the tip just broke off.
Both of the new ones are great! They have fine tips, are very sharp, and they're comfortable for me to use.
The only thing I don't like is that the protective cap on the F & P didn't stay on and the Clover just had a flimsy plastic sheath. I remedied the problem by buying some silicone knitting needle tip cover thingies (somebody online suggested this) and I use those. It works well.
