Is it a letter opener, or a dagger? This Solingen piece is obviously a letter opener but the tip is very sharp and the heavy handle balances in your hand like a commando dagger. 9 1/4" overall with a 5 1/4" blade. Overall good shape. The chrome finish on the blade is bubbled in one spot, see photos. Attractive patterned handle has a little wear that is hard to see. The wierdest thing is a small rattle inside the handle, but there is absolutely nothing loose. The opener/knife is tight a...nd strong, and there is no play anywhere.
I typically would never buy a letter opener, but at first I thought this was a small dagger at the estate sale. I bought it anyway because it feels great in your hand and would make a great addition to an office desk.
