    Barbara Thank You so much I believe that is the newer model of my seam ripper set the blades look exactly like it I am going to call them and ask I would love to buy new blades for mine instead of buying new seam rippers

    I really like the Fons and Porter one. It has a good handle to grip and is sharp.

    I bought mine at Shirley's Sewing Supplies, Dale, Indiana at a quilt show in Bloomington, IN. It is surgical steel, and very sharp. Be careful the first time you open and don't rip the end of your thumb like I did. There is one very similar in the Newark Dressmaker Supply catalog. It has 2 blades.

    For $5.00 - it's worth it every 6 months or a year - unless you do lots on UNsewing and dull the cutter! :)
    Guess I'm i trouble I've had mine 30 years and am still happy with it.

    I still use my mom's sometimes - she used it for years and years before she passed away in 1982.
