A few years ago I found blades in a dollar store, but haven't been able to find any more since. Anyone recognize these and know what they are called or where to purchase them?

That's what my Gma taught me to rip seams with when I was a little girl. then when I took Home Ec in high school. I had to get special permission to keep them in my "tote" of stuff. Can you imagine someone trying to bring them to school these days???
