While most seam rippers simply handle mending jobs, this one brings a calm, refined presence to your worktable. The cohana japan ebony version offers a warm, balanced feel in the hand, with a polished form that suits thoughtful sewing and everyday mending. Its fine grain finish and solid wood body create a tool that feels beautiful in use as well as at rest.

• Crafted from wood, iron, and brass, with a genuine leather case and a silk-polyester tassel
• Choose from Sumi Black striped ebony or Honey Beige Japanese birch, each with its own natural wood grain and character
• The hexagonal grip shape sits naturally in the palm and offers a comfortable feel during use
• Overall length is 115 mm, excluding the tassel and metal fittings; width is 10 mm and the metal part is 40 mm
• The small red ball on the shorter prong helps prevent the blade from cutting or snagging fabric underneath

This fabric guiding tool is designed for unpicking stitches, removing a few stitches, removing multiple stitches in one pass, and opening a buttonhole. The included gray leather case and gray tassel with gold thread add a thoughtful finishing touch, while the precise piercing tip supports careful, controlled work.

Each piece is shaped from natural wood, so the grain, color, and subtle variations will differ from one tool to another. That individuality is part of what gives this Japanese birch awl, or striped ebony handle version, its character. Over time, the wood can develop a deeper luster and richer warmth with use. For safe cutting, use the red ball facing up or down depending on the task, and place a sewing pin at the end of a buttonhole to help prevent cutting beyond the opening.

Please note that the tip is sharp. The leather cover may stretch or shrink slightly over time, and the tassel may fade or discolor with friction, moisture, or direct sunlight. Wipe the blade dry if it becomes wet, replace the cover after use, and keep the tool out of reach of infants and young children.

The handle is finished by a traditional craftsperson certified by Kagawa Prefecture, with expertise in ranma carving, and the refined shape is made to feel beautiful in use as well as at rest.
