In a few weeks it will be time to send Christmas cards. How about a holiday themed letter opener to open the ones you receive.
This letter opener is cut from maple. It is 1/4" thick. I sharpened the blade on my drum sander but you could do the same with a disc sander or rotary tool. You don't need to get it too sharp. You will make the tip fragile. The tip just needs to slide under the envelope flap. The edges of the blade also don't have to be too sharp.
