Letter Openers

One of the most helpful tools and office supplies available is a letter opener , as it makes opening letters and mail effortless. If you are looking for a wonderful gift for employees, a special customer thank you gift or even a business associate birthday gift, letter openers  can be an exciting and useful present. A letter opener  is a knife-like object which is created to open envelopes and letters, or can be sometimes used to split uncut pages of books. They are sometimes called letter knives  or mail openers .

Materials

There is a wide selection of letter openers available. Each of them varies by the materials they are made of.

  • Some letter openers  are made of wood . Some of these types are created specially with designs like a letter opener with a rosewood handle .
  • Metal  openers are some of the most commonly found styles and are sturdy  and durable. Many openers have a glossy finish for extra style.
  • It is also very stylish to see a letter opener made of silver .Sterling silver  letter openers are great because they tend to keep their shiny finish and not tarnish.
  • While most openers are made of silver, there are also ones which are made of brass .
  • There are also others that are made out plastic .  Although they are called plastic, most of them have plastic composition only on the handle and use steel on the blade.
  • Some are special and make great gifts, like an ivory  letter opener.
  • Some modern types have hidden razor blades  inside the handle. 
  • Letter openers can be customized too, like one with a glass handle .  Some letter openers are fashion-minded like the Swarovski Crystal  letter opener.
  • Gift letter openers  are fashionable presents for both men and women.
  • Letter openers can also be a perfect company giveaway by having your company logo etched  etched on the handle.
  • And for sports fans, an Arizona Diamondbacks  or USC Trojans  letter opener can let everyone know who you root for.
  • Some are designed to be miniature replicas of historical swords like the Gryffindor sword  from Harry Potter.

Electric Openers

  • Electric  letter openers automatically open mail when inserted and allow for easy one-handed operation . Most use a motor  to slide an envelope across the blade. These openers  are able to handle a large number of envelopes, but may slice documents if too many envelopes are put in at once.
