Are you still looking for the perfect sword letter opener? These products make the perfect gift for sword collectors and non-sword buyers alike.
Consider these five helpful hints before you buy a sword letter opener to ensure that your purchase is a success:
1. If you are purchasing a sword letter opener as a gift for someone, you want to make sure that you buy the correct type.
Samurai swords will have a round hand guard with a single-edged blade. European swords have a straight hand guard with blades that often have two edges.
2. In order for your letter opener to actually be effective, you will need to keep it sharp. You can sharpen it by using almost any sharpening method (stone/ceramic/diamond) at a 22-25 degree angle.
3. Your new sword letter opener might be made from high carbon steel. If this is the case, be sure to apply a light coat of oil to your blade at least once a week. Doing this will prevent rust and corrosion from developing.
4. Do you plan to use your sword for cutting tests or chopping? You should make sure that it is made with a full tang if you plan to venture outside of letter opening. This will protect you and anyone around you from being seriously injured if the blade disconnects from the handle.
5. Be careful if you plan to store your sword letter opener. Moisture will develop inside of a sword sheath after time, which will cause rust and or pitting on your blade.
