| 10 On 09/12/2009 HI. I ORDERED THE LETTER OPENER AS A REPLACEMENT FOR ONE MY MOTHER HAD WHICH WAS PART OF A SET SHE PLANS LEAVING TO A GRANCHILD SOMEDAY.

| 9 On 06/30/2009 A little expensive, but a beautiful item. My husband loved it. I just hope he doesn’t think it’s too nice to use! |
| 10 On 02/03/2009 Just what I wanted it is the same as I had purchased in Mistic. Ct. a few years back but the clip broke on that one so I seached the internet for a replacement. thanks, William R. Boneau |
| 10 On 01/25/2009 The card case I purchased was a gift for my husband and was exactly what I was looking for. It was delivered quickly and beautifully wrapped. Very good quality, I am pleased with the purchase. |
| 9 On 12/21/2008 This letter opener is a piece of art. It is very beautiful and I’m glad that I ordered it. My only complaint is that it is not too sharp. It does not always pierce or slice open an envelope easily. It frequently takes a little more ’’oomph’’ to push the opener through the paper of an envelope than other letter openers that I have used. None of those were nearly as beautiful as this one and I guess I’m strong enough to open any letter with this opener. It would be better if it were sharper, though. |
| 10 On 06/26/2008 My children picked this Business Card Case to give to their Daddy for Father’s Day. We were thrilled with the quality and craftsmanship when it arrived as we knew that we were presenting it to our favorite Wood Craftsman. He was very pleased with his gift’s superior quality. |

| 10 On 03/17/2008 The clip is beautiful..my son had bought one for me from you, but I lost it and had to replace it.
