Troubleshooting

Ensure the serpent design is fully secured around the handle. If the issue persists, contact customer support as there might be a manufacturing defect.
Gold plating appears dull or tarnished.
Gently polish with a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for gold or precious metals. Avoid harsh chemicals. If tarnish is significant, professional cleaning might be considered.
Difficulty opening envelopes.
Ensure the blade edge is clean and free from debris. Position the opener carefully to avoid tearing the envelope contents. The opener is designed for standard paper envelopes.
