    Is this a knife or a letter opener? No Idea, leather case, plastic (acrylic) handle..... 12" long - no markings.

    Is this what is called a Stiletto? Looks lethal.

    Shiv maybe. Stiletto no.

    It would not be very practical as a weapon.

    Indian Tourist item??? Doesn't look very practical - seems that blade would break off if used

    The handle reminds me of some plexiglass letter openers/pens I've seen that were advertised as Soviet prison art.

    The double fuller doesn't look right for whatever the "knife" is.

    Generally a letter opener doesn't come in a sheath.

    Interesting.
    Noticed many were called letter opener knife.
    Some described as letter opener in dagger form.


    Are you allowed to list a dagger on ebay or etsy?

    It looks the same both sides - like somebody took 2 pieces of leather and stitched them together along the seems.
