Allex Letter Opener

A slim, elongated blade in high-grade stainless steel with a rubber-coated handle. Made in Japan and produced continuously since 1975.

The Allex Letter Opener is ground to cut cleanly through paper and tape, with a matte finish extending the full length of the blade. The uncoated steel surface maintains consistent cutting performance without buildup or drag across repeated use, and the rubber handle provides a non-slip grip that stays stable without requiring firm pressure.

Unchanged since 1975

The original blade geometry and handle construction have remained in continuous production for five decades without significant design revision. Allex still manufactures each piece in Japan to the same tolerances as the first run.

• Dimensions: 6.5" L
• Material: 100% stainless steel
• Origin: Japan

• High-grade Japanese stainless steel blade – The steel alloy holds a fine edge without the brittleness that causes cheaper letter openers to snag mid-envelope, catching the paper rather than parting it cleanly.
• Slim elongated blade profile – The narrow geometry enters the envelope seal precisely, guiding the cut along the fold rather than forcing it — the shape is what prevents tearing, not pressure from the hand.
• Matte stainless finish – A non-reflective surface that doesn't show fingerprints or smudging on a desk surface, and ages without the peeling or discoloration common to painted or lacquered metal tools.
• Rubber-coated handle – The coating maintains grip during repeated use without requiring pressure — reducing the hand tension that builds during high-volume correspondence or packaging work.
• Continuous production since 1975 – Fifty years of uninterrupted manufacture with no design revision is a functional record — the blade angle, handle length, and balance point have not needed correction because they were resolved at the outset.
• Restrained desk presence – The slim profile stores flat in a drawer or alongside pens without occupying disproportionate space, and the industrial aesthetic sits cleanly on a minimal desk without visual noise.
