Fabulous Old Carved Swordfish Letter Opener with Blade vase with animals and were kept inside theI'm completely charmed by this one, which was quite finely done, and is a very useful one too, with the long thin sword perfect for slipping through the top of a sealed envelope, and the blade inside of its mouth cutting the paper as it goes.
