The shape is beautiful and my boss calls it a piece of jewelry

This letter opener is beautiful, has a nice shape, is well balanced, it is easy to hold, and does what it is supposed to do

Nice heavy weight and beautiful shape.

This is a very well made desk accessory, polished, smooth, well finished, with a nice shape and weight

It has a solid heft and is just thin enough to fit inside the envelope flap opening, and is just the right shape to rip the paper open cleanly

The shape is not complimentary to the human hand and my husband had an even harder time with it.

It's quite heavy and won't break at the "head" as it's all one piece

But ,rest assured, this item is just as beautiful as it is pictured and it works very well.
