This work great for ripping seams quickly and neatly.This little guy is sharp and has made me say goodbye to my old seam ripper. Much faster once you get the hang of it!Very light and easy to holdI love the usefulness of this item. My old one was a hair longer in the handle area which made it way nicer to maneuver. Only thing I would change. Overall this is a very useful tool.Love this seal ripper it cut through seams like a dream. Visually appealing and I like the design.Getting the hang of using this after being used to the standard seam ripper takes some practice. Having said that, this baby works little ripping miracles! Make sure you practice before using on a project as it is SHARP and cuts easily anything it contacts, including your fabric. This only happens when you use it improperly. Reach into your scrap bucket, and rip some seams to get that practice in!This is a beautiful and fabulous tool. Well made, nice design, and beautiful. Seriously bad ass blade.Only issue: the screw was pretty locked tight. I ended up needing to put a few drops of beard trimmer tool oil on it, let it sit, then took a small wrench to it with a cloth around the bolt. Now it works fine. But I shouldn't have to do that for a new product. Hence, the four stars.The surgical blades for it are SUPER sharp. Better than any other cutting tool for sewing I have. I do have the same blades on another cutting too, but this is better designed for sewing.Also, I'm a lefty and this tool works great for me.Users can buy replacement #12 scalpel blades here on Amazon.I love how it feels in my hand. But now that I’ve bought it I haven’t had any messed up any seams. Guess I should have bought this years ago! ??
