Have you ever seen a seam ripper like this one?

I bought some of those back in the 70s but they weren't billed as seam rippers but as coupon clippers. They were very sharp but got dull with all the coupons I clipped. I haven't seem them for sale since then.

It does an amazing job when ripping the seams out of jeans legs or upholstry - because it actually cuts the threads (with it's razor like edge) that pop the threads like other rippers do. You do have to be careful because it will slice your fabric too - but for heavy duty jobs - it is the best thing ever

The one that was shown doesn't look quite as durable/strong as the one you have.
It almost looks like a box cutter of sorts.
