Customers say
Customers find the letter opener effective at opening both envelopes and packages, with positive feedback about its quality and functionality. The sharpness and cutting edge receive mixed reviews – while some praise the serrated edge, others find the serrated edges not sharp enough, and while it works well for letters, some mention it cuts like a saw. The sturdiness is also mixed, with some finding it sturdy while others say it’s weaker than expected, and opinions on value for money are divided between those who consider it worth the price and those who find it overpriced.

Safe yet efficient letter opener
This is a good letter opener made of metal for the blade and hard plastic for the handle. The color is accurate for the description with the black handle trying to ressemble fake wood.The thing I like about it is that it’s NOT a knife. It’s more of a dull blade with tiny “teeth” in it that can slice through paper but won’t slice through skin (I tested it on my arm so you don’t have to, zero damage). So, these are very child-proof to have around your desk. Even the tip is rounded up.It functions very well however for the task needed and represents a great value. Great to open up Amazon boxes, letters and enveloppes.

Amazing Letter Opener
I ordered this to have an additional one. The 1st one I’ve had which was my Mother’s, she purchased it in the 1960’s. I have to say that it has held up all these years and nothing has changed, still sharp and tight handle. I wanted another at my computer desk and this one is identical to the original one. I really think this company does a wonderful job in making these. I’ve used this one everyday since it as arrived. I’ve opened letters, boxes and packages and it holds up fantastic. I highly recommend this tool.

Wonderfully sharp and slim letter opener
I absolutely love this letter opener. Very nice and slip and wonderful edges for opening letters and envelopes.

Messy
This product does not open mail smoothly. It sort of rips the paper and makes a mess – like paper dust. I would not buy this again and I would return it if I hadn’t waited too long.

No more paper cuts!
I lost my beloved serrated letter opener years ago and it took me years to find a good replacement. I bought 2 of these and they’re great! Tiny serrations easly open envelopes and leave the edges of the paper soft. No more paper cuts! The tip of the knife is rounded for safety.

Decent replacement, not very many serrated letter openers nowadays?
I had my previous letter opener with a serrated blade for almost 5 years! On my previous letter opener, the serrations and blade were strong enough to cut through paper and plastic tape on packages (like all my Amazon prime packages), but one wrong flick a few weeks ago and the blade snapped.For some reason, this letter opener which I purchased and am reviewing now, is the only serrated letter opener I could find on amazon that didn’t look like a steak knife, or come in a multi-pack. First impression when this product came in the mail was how noticeably thinner, lighter, and unfortunately weaker than my previous one. Serrations are fairly sharp, I’m still able to cut through both paper and plastic packaging tape. I feel like the thinner and lighter blade will break eventually, and I would not be surprised if this product does not pass up that 5 year milestone.

Good design
Good design. Works just as advertised.

Horrible
This is the worst letter opener I have ever tried. The blade struggled to open any envelopes cleanly due to the thin, unnecessarily serrated, and annoyingly flexible metal blade. The plastic handle was uncomfortably small and excessively lightweight, aside from being hollow and having something inside it rattle when I was using it.

I strongly prefer an opener with serrated edges in order to create neat edges on envelopes when I open them. It’s a mystery why local retailers don’t carry an opener with a serrated edge. Anyway, this one does the job. Whenever I use it to open mail, my quality of life soars.

Blade is thin the handle feels very cheap , already the handle is giving way. Very light product.
