Letter Openers

Information

What do you use to open your mail art? A 19th century engraved letter opener with a carved inlaid alabaster handle? A dull table knife? An overly excited yet always regretful rip with your hands? Your teeth? Join this group and show IUOMA what you use. (Please join if you use your teeth. I couldn't even find a picture of someone doing that on the internet. I may have subconsciously started this group just because I want to see that.)

Comment by Carien van Hest on March 18, 2023 at 7:42am: Nice subject, John and thank you for the invite. Here is my letter opener. Slick and simple. But when an envelope is heavily loaded with adhesive tape, I use scissors.

Comment by Hélène LAGACHE on March 18, 2023 at 6:04am: Hello everyone and thanks for the invite Mark
Here is my paper cutter. Bought in my favorite papermill (I love paper, pens...)
Compact design. Easy to use.

Sometimes when there is a lot of thickness and scotch, I use a paper cutter

Comment by Pam Chatfield on March 18, 2023 at 4:38am: Thanks for the invite! I've been using the same letter opener since 2000 (or it may have been 2001). The company I was working for at the time was looking for new credentialing software. I was the credentialing supervisor at the time, so I was in the meetings with different software companies. One of them (Visual Cactus) gave everyone in the meeting free loot. Mugs, pens, letter openers, the usual junk that clutters our desks.

This is the only thing I have left out of that stuff. I don't know why, but for some reason it survived my changing companies, and three address changes.

Tomorrow I’ll post one of mine.
