This is actually a letter opener made for a Southern Lady. It has a 6 inch damascus blade, ivory handle with sterling silver, domed pins. It is made to lay flat on a desk so the blade is ground on one side only and a thin piece of ivory is used for the bottom handle slab. When complete it will rest in an alligator sheath. We hope you like it.

Most excellent letter opener. People call some of my daggers letter openers but they do stick. Great job.
 
Thanks Dan. Sometimes the only difference in two tools is the place and time. The blade is sharp and heat treated. I don't think you would like to have it on you in an airport or federal building.
