We think these are the most beautiful stitch rippers you will find! Made to an exclusive design for Beyond Measure, they have a turned wooden handle, an antique style brass fitting and removable/replaceable blade. There is no plastic involved at all!
The handles are turned individually in the UK so will vary slightly, but the wooden part measure about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long, so nestles nicely in your hand. The blades can be removed easily for storage or to be replaced when blunt.
Each seam ripper comes with one blade, a storage bag and blade storage tin which is also handy for needles and other bits. Spare blades also available.
Total length with blade is about 5 inches (12.5 cm).
Wood options:
Yew is a very silky wood to the touch and is a varying warm honey colour. It sometimes has a slightly swirly grain or knots.
Oak is a slightly darker wood which mellows beautifully. It has a distinctive grain and slight texture to the surface.
Cherry is a smooth wood with a warm mid colour and a variegated grain that sometimes contains darker tones.
Walnut is a dark rich wood with a tight grain.
Holly a lighter wood with a close grain and cooler tone and modern look
Apple is a smooth pale tone, close-grain wood, sometimes with tiny pits or knots.
Wood is a natural material so each handle will be unique and will be slightly different to those pictured.
Handle made in the UK, blade is from Japan.

The yew handle has a lovely feel and is good to hold. All parts feel solid and that they will last forever. I found the shaft part of the blade a little long so I shortened it by an inch or so. I feel more in control now and it is a joy to use. Wish I had found it years ago.
The seam ripper is very well made and from beautiful wood. It is very comfortable and efficient to use. It is quite expensive but worth every penny.
Could have bought a cheap stitch ripper or thread cutter for less money but this is something to inherit. Blades are sharp and handle is great, making it a dream to use. But I'm particularly impressed by the spare cutters that you can buy. No more plastic rippers in landfill since this will outlast me!
Our lass loves it!
