The Eichenlaub letter opener.

Eichenlaub, the Solingen-based knife-makers have been producing letter openers since the 1920s. Our letter opener resembles the original in terms of both design and finish - and in keeping with the tradition of the time, it has been manufactured in the same meticulous way - forged, sharpened by hand, and polished. Its perfect weight distribution balance is not only the result of the clever design, but also the product of a most elaborate detail: before the blade is inserted, a steel bolt is placed into the hollow ebony handle to ensure perfect balance. The clamp is an English model with a delicate decoration, known as an »Anglaise«.
