Dagger Style Letter Opener Forged to Finish Functional Art
from $64.99
These Dagger style "letter openers" / fantasy blades are hand forged in rural Appalachia by Artist Blacksmith Carter Conley They work effortlessly, feel great in the hand and look great displayed on a desk or shelf! Each letter opener features a full tang construction, incorporating a dagger style handle and guard . I choose to forge these from mild steel instead of high carbon blade steel for several reasons, cost of materials, the time involved at the grinder / heat treating and the fact that a high carbon steel letter opener would be overkill, by making them from mild steel I can keep the cost down, and still deliver a unique better quality letter opener, or display piece than mass produced ones. Being a Hand forged individually made Item some subtle differences (as shown in the photos) are to be expected no two will be exactly alike. Iron is the Traditional 6 year wedding anniversary gift, Steel is the 11th year. The words Iron and Steel are almost always used interchangeably in Blacksmithing due to the availability of materials Items that would have been made from Wrought Iron, are now made from mild low carbon steel, the closest we as modern smiths can find readily available. Thanks for checking out my blacksmith shop! Carter Conley
