It looks kind of odd but it probably does a good job!

Hi all, I also have one and they were for cutting coupons as montanajan said. I also used it as a seam ripper, but as kriscraft99 said you have to be careful as it wil also cut your fabric if you go too fast or you are not careful enough (no need to ask me how I know). BrendaK

Where to get a Clipit
 
This shows my age, but, what the heck! I still have one from way-back-when and it stills works, although not as a seam ripper. I use it to clip articles/coupons/etc. from paper sources. It's called a Clipit. Here is a site where you can get one or more at only $1.99! http://autopointinc.com/autopoint/ti...pit-96023.html

I just tried it to rip a seam. It doesn't work very well, at least for me. I think the blade is much too big for the stitches. Maybe it's just me . . . . I'll just stick to using it for paper clipping. :)

Gingher makes one with that curved blade.

I have one like that but was told it was to clip things out of the paper, ie, coupons, etc. Never have used it for a seam ripper....hmmmmm.....
