Great when new but blade dulls

It's a good thing this item is inexpensive because it needs to be replaced often due to the condition of the blade after use.

Letter openers -- What's not to like?
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
These letter openers are awesome. So compact so ergonomic. They fit perfectly in my hands. We know that the Stapes design bureau spent many hours had their best design engineers developing and probably discarding many prototypes before settling on the final product. Let's look at them in operation: they fit snugly in my hand. They produce none of the dreaded letter opener fatigue that plagues those who must open many many letters in a row. After four or five hours of opening letters one can become very fatigued and that is dangerous--who knows when you might miss the very tiny space between the sealed flap and the main body of the envelope and if you miss tragic results might ensue. These letter openers have not failed me once. I have yet to find the stubborn letter that these letter openers could not conquer. I suppose the simple high tech design will mean that future repair or maintenance issues will not be an issue the way they were with earlier generations of letter openers. I'm sure I will get many useful hours and years of service from these. I'm so ecstatic over finally finding such a well-engineered innovation that I plan to buy more and place them all over the house. I don't want to turn around without having one of these letter openers more than a few feet. In fact I consider that a necessity. If only they came in various designs.

These little black openers are very sharp and keep sharp for a very long time. They serve their purpose well.

Does what it's supposed to do & more!

I use it for anything that needs to be opened including shipping tape on boxes purchases that arrive in plastic bags - it nice because you know that you are not cutting into the items inside of the packages. I never buy only one packet I keep a backup - it's easy to do because they are inexpensive quality for the cost. When opening envelopes don't insert too deeply into the envelope it causes the paper to bunch up or get stuck in the blade.

Sharp makes the difference

I have used this type letter opener for many years. A new one that is sharp makes a big difference when opening the many letters being received in this day and time.

I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN AND AGAIN

MOST OTHER LETTER OPENERS BREAK VERY EASILY WHEN OPENING LETTERS OR PACKAGES. THIS ONE IS VERY DURABLE AND STURDY. IT HAS A NICE SHARP BLADE.
