    Default Gingher seam ripper

    Does anyone use or know anything about the ginger seam ripper? It is one with a chrome handle and looks kind of like a surgical instrument. Just wondered if it was very good.

    I have one. I like the handle, and the blade. Just be very careful because it is very sharp like a surgical knife.

    I had not seen one. I have Gingher scissor from long ago but I thought their rotary cutter was over priced. I had not seen their seam ripper.

    I bought one and didn't like it so I took it back. I have a similar looking one from the quilt shop that cost about $3 and it works a lot better.

    I have one. The handle is very comfortable to work with, but I thought the blade could be a bit sharper.

    We bought some at a Black Friday sale several years ago. I liked mine at first, but less as time went on. My wife loves them and still uses them. So we are 50/50 on them here.

    Mass drop has them for sale now. They are pretty expensive for a seam ripper.

    I have one, I got reduced when I was in Joanne's a few weeks ago, it was about $6-7, it's different from a regular seam ripper but I'm getting used to it and really like it.

    I have one and don't like it. The handle and blade are too big. The blade seems like it is too thick.

    I'm guessing that's the same Nifty Notions one that I have - it is my favorite seam ripper!
