My favorite seam ripper is the Fons and Porter one with the fat red & white handle. You do have to be a bit careful not to break the tip off, as mentioned before. I broke one I took to a quilt guild meeting in my purse without the cap. I like it so much I have bought several of them, and have them all over the house. My only issue with them is the caps do not stay on, not even for two seconds! I have taken to taping them on when not is use. I wish they would sell them with caps which were useful!

I love the Clover brand seam ripper from Nancys Notions, DO NOT BUY the Fons & Porter, I had 2 and the tips snapped off. Thankfully I wear glasses. The other thing I like is a battery operated mustache trimmer! Its' about 3 or 4 dollars (same thing as the pretty ones in the quilt stores) but much cheaper!

I just ordered this one
I have this one also, and it is super great, you do have to 'pay attention' to what you are doing because the blade is O.M.G. so sharp it is scarey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so much better than the Gingher that I got first (very heavy)
I also have several of the ordinary ones for a quick rip.

seam ripper
Most of my seam rippers, stitch removers/cutters, etc. have gotten quite dull.
I'm going to be buying some replacements soon, and would like to have some opinions on what 'make and model' you prefer - and why.
At the moment, my favorite tool is a very narrow pointy manicure scissor.

my very favorite over all the others here is below. It has a magnifying glass that is lit with a tiny light. See amazon below.
