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 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???
