A small letter opener and / or Dagger. We like to think if you receive a love letter or valentine this is a letter opener, for bills and tedious documents it would be a dagger. The handle. has several Silver bands that separate stone or semi precious stones. Quite unique and a complaint to any work station or desk. small, but sharp and ready to burn through the fan mail we all receive on a daily basis-oh he joys of our time sitting at our desks!
