Purple seam ripper made out of Spalted Maple wood that was stabilized in a vacuum process with a purple dye resin. The vacuum removes air molecules from the softer portions of the wood and replaces it with the purple dye resin. The parts that are more purple were the softer parts and the brown parts were the harder parts of the wood. After it was removed from the solution , it was baked for two hours leaving it in a very solid state, kind of like petrified wood.
It measures 5 3/8 inches long when blades are stored and 6 inches with one blade in use by 9/16 inch at it's widest point. This seam ripper metal is chrome.

Returns and exchange details
Customer satisfaction is my main goal. I carefully inspect every aspect of these pens when making them and will not sell a pen that is not in perfect shape. I take as many detailed pictures as I see fit to let you inspect the quality of the product before you purchase. All pens are tested and inspected before packaging and are in 100% A-1 condition. If for some reason you are not satisfied contact me by Etsy immediately , not private email. I will try to resolve the issue right away. Do not give negative feedback before contacting me first .
Defective Items; If there is a defect in a part or workmanship, contact me for a return or repair. Most pens can be repaired, some easier than others, I will work with you to get the problem solved.
If an item is granted and cleared by the seller for a return it must have a tracking number and it must have insurance that is paid by the original purchaser. All items returned must be in original packages and be in 100% A1 condition. Items will be inspected closely upon arrival. All shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer on any aspect of return issues.
If an item is returned and is not in 100% A1 condition (barring the defective part) other options will be taken at my discretion.
Additional
Some of these pens can be matched up with a .07 ever sharp pencil or a 2MM sketch lead pencil and displayed as a pair. Contact me on this. Some pens are strictly pens only and do not have matching pencil options. I will send an information note on how to replace the ink cartridge or lead.
Custom orders are to be prepaid by buyer and are not refundable. All custom orders will take an undetermined amount of time , for some pens take a lot more time than others to make but an estimated completion time will be made and then updated as the order is completed.
