Have you ever seen a seam ripper like this one?

I've had this one for years - and absolutely love it. I've never run across another one. It is great for some "ripping" jobs.
|
How big is it? Needs a ruler or a hand to give a size.
|
I have one of those - it is from the 1970s I think. I don't use it much, but as I recall it was very sharp.
|
I just got a seam ripper with a stand. good timing because I used it a lot this weekend
|
Would love to find one like that. Seems like it would be HEAVY DUTY. I have had 2 break on me in the past month.
|
Never seen that kind before! Looks like it can get the job done!!
|
New to me, looks like it would work great!
|
Never have seen one like that. I would love to know where you can get one.

Yes I have one also. Found it in a sewing basket I bought at a flea market.
|
That looks like a letter opener I've seen in office supply stores!
|
I have one of those and I love it, too. I have had it so long I have no idea where I got it!
|
I have one that was in my Mom's sewing stuff and just love it. I would love to have one by each machine, so if anyone ever finds where they can be bought, I sure hope that they post the info.
|
I have one of those but they were a give away from a store to cut coupons out of newspapers, etc. They were given away back in the 70s--surprised I still have it as I lose everything!
|
I got one of these several years ago - BET-A-SEAM RIPPER and I just love it. Sharp like a razor blade, but you can use the ip to pick individual stitches. Actually think I may have worn in out...lol.

I remember having one like that myself! It is a great tool, but sadly I don't have mine anymore. My favorite one now is the ergonomic one by clover.
It seems to me that it was from the Current card company for cutting out pages from a magazine. |
yes, I had one long time ago, too. havent see one in years. I also had something like this for cutting paper, like clipping stuff from the news paper. Maybe an office store would have it in that area???
|
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 looks familiar. I think I had one back in the 60s or 70s. I don't have it anymore.
|
I have a couple of those - they were advertised for cutting coupons from newspapers or magazines. They do work well as seam rippers.
|
It looks as though it would do the job at hand...never seen one b4.
|
Well Ding-Dang-It....I've never seen a SR like that...but now that I have, I want one :thumbup:
|
No - not seen that one. Is it as good a friend as mine is?
|
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 :thumbup:
|
Wouldn't mind having one like that myself.

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. |
Looks like the modern version of the tiny knife they sell for seam ripping now....
|
I've never seen that either....
|
I use to have one and loved it. I'll have to look around in some of my older supplies.
|
wow, that looks positively lethal!
|
Serious ripper! Looks quite dangerous and very sharp.

No, I have never seen a ripper like that. Unusual.
|
My thread didn't show all the way. I have 2 of these seam rippers and were recently purchased from WalMart in the office supply department. They are heavy duty, work very well, and are no bigger than your usual seam ripper, about 5 to 6 inches long...
|
I had two and lost one at a quiling class. I just loved them but have never been able to find where to purchase. Hope you put on the board if you find out.

yes, it is very sharp & dangerous - but so easy to slice through heavy duty upholstry thread :thumbup:
