Letterknives - IV


Japanese Letterknife with Engraved Silver Handle and Folding Penknife (LEO Design)

 

The Japanese letterknife, shown above, is more like a handsome piece of jewelry than a utilitarian desk accessory.  The chromed blade extends from a silver handle—ambitiously hand-engraved with scrolling botanicals.  Furthermore, a retractable penknife folds into the handle—ever-ready to sharpen one's quill pen.  This handsome letterknife was made in the 1950's.  Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
