Our heavy Brass Letter Opener is designed in a gothic style and is a tool that no envelope can stand against. Forged out of heavy brass, this letter opener weighs in at a full pound and nearly 13 inches long. The handle is heavy, featuring two crown bulbs and a finial end for a sure grip. The blade is nearly 6 inches long and is thickest at the hilt. The letter opener is distressed and antiqued to reflect a century of use. With this construction, it's ready for another century of use.
