About Deer Antler Letter Openers

letter

So, what exactly is a deer antler letter opener? Well, it’s basically a letter opener crafted with a shed antler as a handle. Most of the antlers used as handles are from the whitetail and mule deer, although some use others, such as elk. The blade of the letter opener connects and sits securely inside the antler piece. This is typically done by creating a thin wedge in the antler that’s just large enough for a blade to fit. If this wedge is too large, the blade will be loose, causing it to fall out easily. You can usually tell if a letter opener is good or not by how sturdy the blade is.

Deer antler letter openers are usually mended with an epoxy setting, which is added before the blade goes into the antler. This process makes for a gorgeous-looking, yet durable, letter opener that will last for generations to come.

How To Choose a Deer Antler Letter Opener

Because they’re handcrafted and not mass-produced by some big company, you can find deer antler letter openers available in countless different styles and designs. As a result, it’s important that you take your time to choose the one that’s right for you. Only then will you be able to fully enjoy your new antler item and everything it offers.

The first thing that you’ll want to consider is whether or not it has an actual blade. You might be surprised to learn that some antler letter openers are simply sharpened at the end to create a point used for cutting through the top of letters. Others, however, have a blade mended into the wedge of the antler, which is how most traditional letter openers are made. Both of these types can successfully be used to open letters or mail, but there are some notable differences between the two. As you can expect, letter openers with an actual blade are a bit more effective, as they cut through paper more easily.
