Most of the letter knifes we have offered over the years have tended toward the heavy and masculine—like a prop out of Tosca, Act II. The elegant letter knife, shown here, is more subtle. It is fashioned of tapering stainless steel and is set within a silver handle, hand-engraved with scrolling botanicals. The handle conceals another little bonus: a folding stainless steel pen knife. As useful as it is, this knife is still very elegant—an object of sophisticated refinement. It was made in Japan in the Fifties. Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
