A Letter Opener Made of Old Letters by PLANT

“The technique we use to make the blade of each opener is a cool combination of digital carving technology and traditional handicraft. The outline of each blade is carved out of a big sheet of the material using a digitally driven CNC milling machine, at a tiny workshop in upstate New York, and then each one gets sanded, buffed, oiled, and polished by hand—and put together with the handle pieces and swivel screw—here in Brooklyn.”
