Westcott 29691 All-Purpose Rosewood Handle Letter Opener, 9 in

I had a problem with a late delivery - down to Royal Mail, not the seller, as it turns out who subsequently contacted me with an update (thank you for responding). This is not an expensive item and was delivered with free postage and really, unless you were out to make a statement or to give something as a gift, this is perfect for opening letters. It kind of has the look of a wooden handled steak knife, except the blade is double edged and whilst it is sharp enough to tackle any letters, it will not do you any harm. It is solidly made and looks in keeping, sitting on my wooden desk. I am very pleased with it.

This is a basic paper letter opener, which does the job it's supposed too. For the money, you can't expect to purchase a letter opener of the quality seen in a J. Rogers of Sheffield product as used to be supplied to HMSO.

I'll start with the only negative I have in regards to this product. After opening the package and removing the item from its packaging, I noticed some light scratching on the blade and some dirt on one of the metal discs in the handle. However, the dirt did come off after washing it with a damp cloth.However, I am very happy with my product. It is light-weight yet sturdy and the handle fits comfortably in my hand. It executes its function with ease. Well worth purchasing, especially at such a low price. Perfect for someone who wants a letter opener between the range of ornate collector's piece and square of cheap plastic.

Sturdy, wish I had it to open your envelope, nice handle and blade. Will be very helpful due to the fact that I have a problem with my hands and have been doing it with scissors. Now can open envelopes in peace.

This was a present for my husband and he said it was just what he wanted and very useful to have.

Nice letter opener. Good price. Nice handle.

Arrived early easy to use good value
