What material is the blade made of?

How should I store the letter opener?

Store it in a dry location. Keeping the blade clean and dry will help maintain its condition and prevent rust.

Can this be used for opening boxes?

It is primarily designed for letters and envelopes. It may work for very small, lightly taped packages, but it is not intended for heavy-duty box opening.

Troubleshooting

Blade not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blade is clean and free from paper debris. If dullness persists, consider replacement as sharpening may not be feasible for this type of blade.

Handle feels rough or dry

The wooden handle may benefit from occasional conditioning with a food-safe mineral oil if it appears dry. Wipe off any excess oil.

Difficulty opening thicker envelopes

Try a different angle of attack or a slight sawing motion. For very thick envelopes, this tool might require more effort than specialized cutters.
