Brass Seashell Letter Opener

An everyday event made so much more enjoyable with this BRASS LETTER OPENER. Using a letter opener can make the not-so-exciting task of opening the mail a tad more tolerable, the best letter openers also provide an easy way to cleanly open envelopes without making it look like it was ripped apart by a rabid animal. Not only is the envelope salvageable to use as storage for its contents, but the papers inside the envelope are also left unscathed. The terms paper knife and letter opener are often used interchangeably to refer to a knife-like desktop tool. In truth, they are for different functions and were in use at different times. Paper knives are used for cutting open the pages of hand-produced books where the folding of printed sheets creates some closed edges that require severing of the paper before reading. Letter openers “evolved” from paper knives into longer, blunter blades for the sole purpose of opening envelopes.
