I have a couple of those and love thm I use them all the time when I have to take stitches out I make a lot of quilted handbags and I couldn't work without one as I am always making mistakes that would take hours to remove with a seam ripper. But you have to be very careful thay are legal weapons lol

I use one, but I really prefer the normal seam ripper, which I use that same way. The Havel is so sharp I'Ve never felt really comfortable using it. I bought minre at Hancocks.

LOL.. OK.. just looks like a disposable scalpel with a #12 blade (sorta) to me.. I'm an OR nurse and I use a disposable scalpel at home for stuff like that.. and yes.. they are razor sharp.
