    Hello everyone! I've got what I think is a letter opener with writing on the blade. Can anyone tell me what it says or what language it is in? It measures 6 1/8" long. I'm not sure what materials the handle is made out of but it has a very hard plastic type feel. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    It's all Greek to me.

    Looks like a fisherman's knife.

    INOX is a common term in Europe for stainless steel. Not a letter opener, is a knife.

    I agree; it's in Greek. The handle's funny for a paring knife, but it's too short for much else and the blade is wrong for oysters and the like. It might be something specialized for a Greek cook.
