Product Description: Similar to letter openers but a bit different, paper knives were commonly used during the 19th century to slit open uncut reading material, pages of books and cutting-down, slicing loose paper sheets. Just a bit under 10” long, this fine, wood-carved paper knife with intricate detail is unlike most you may have seen. The 5 3/8” flat, blunt blade features an elegant, smooth surface with an outstanding handle depicting the top body of a mythical snake with carved scales and two fangs. For some, snakes can symbolize self-awareness, transformation, rebirth and healing.
