Hand Forged Letter opener
£30.00
Viking style letter opener. Spiral letter opener. Bolt etter opener.
I hand forge these letter openers in my very traditional blacksmith’s workshop in Earlswood, Warwickrshire.
They are styled on a Viking Lady’s knife…..these were carried by women in Viking times for tasks such as skinning rabbits and preparing food.
After I have heated the steel in the forge I shape the letter opener on my anvil and then clean it up with a wire brush and coat it in beeswax to protect it..just as it has been done for centuries.
They are approximately 15cm in length.
I have sold many of these to re enactors, they are also bought as gifts for 6th and 11th wedding anniversaries and wedding presents.
Shipping is included.

My 3 styles of letter openers are all hand forged in my very traditional blacksmith’s workshop in Earlswood, Warwickrshire.
The one with the curved blade is styled on a Viking Lady’s knife…..these were carried by women in Viking times for tasks such as skinning rabbits and preparing food.
The spiral letter opener has a straighter blade and is longer.
The bolt letter opener is an old coacbolt that I have forged and changed. I’ve wrapped copper wire around the shaft to add a contrast to the steel.
All 3 letter openers are coated in beeswax which gives them a beautiful finish and protects them..
I have sold many of these to re enactors, they are also bought as gifts for 6th and 11th wedding anniversaries and wedding presents.
Please let me know whether you would like a Viking Style , Spiral or bolt letter opener.
Every now and then a letter drops onto the door mat rather than into the inbox. What better way of opening your birthday and Christmas cards than with one of my letter openers.
