Seam Ripper Recommendation
#21
I have used a lot of seam rippers in my time from ergonomic to cheappy. The hands down best seam ripper I have ever used is one made by the other Rodney in LA and it is wonderful! Double ended with a small ripper on one end and a larger ripper on the other with a hand lathed handle from beautiful woods it is a very useful piece of art that I use daily. amazing how much unsewing I do because I change my mind about something.

I love the Dritz blue-handled seam ripper. It retails for just over $2.00 at the big box fabric stores. When they have their 50% off sales, I get them for about a dollar. I buy several at a time because they are the one tool that I lose most often. I don't think I've ever had one wear out because I lose it before that happens! Because they are so inexpensive, I don't feel distressed if I misplace it.

There is a seam ripper that is guaranteed to stay sharp. It is has a warranty and you can return it for a replacement. Here is the site.

Clover has two seam rippers that I like. One has a round white handle, the other has a flat brown handle. I think both have the same tip, which is small and sharp. I bought the flat handled one thinking that it wouldn't roll off my table and disappear. I was half right -- it grew legs and disappeared. Mark Lapinsky's "crew" did a comparison on seam rippers in his magazine, and the two Clover rippers were #1 and #2 on their list.
