We all get used to using different tools when sewing, however when unpicking something I prefer to use the Quick Unpick.

The brand I use is called "Clover" and the quick unpick is a brown color.  It is very sharp.  When I open a new one I write the date on the handle using a Permanent Marker pen.  This way I know which one is the sharpest one because it has the latest date on it.  Don't throw the ones that are not so sharp away.  They are still good, but I only use them when I am unpicking a few stitches.   The new sharp one is for when I have a lot of unpicking to do.

Happy sewing
