The Letterman™ Knife Kit Collection is a versatile lineup of custom letter opener kits designed for makers who enjoy hands-on craftsmanship and clean, functional design. Built around a precision stainless steel blade platform, each variation in the series delivers the same reliable performance core—then pairs it with a different handle material option to match your style, workspace, or gifting intent.
At the heart of every kit is a double-ground stainless steel blade with a mirror-polished finish and a Rockwell hardness of RC 56–58 (heat treated and cryo-treated for durability and edge stability). The blade measures approximately 4.3125 inches in length with an overall tool length of 8.187 inches, giving it a balanced, compact profile ideal for desk use. Each tang is pre-drilled with two 0.120-inch holes for secure pin mounting and includes a square thong hole at the butt for optional lanyard attachment. Stainless steel pinstock is included with every kit.
From there, each variation introduces a distinct material experience. The base kit includes only the blade and hardware for builders who prefer full creative control over handle selection. The combo kits step in with pre-machined, oversized, undrilled handle blanks that allow you to shape, sand, and finish the final form by hand.
Available handle material options include rich, workshop-ready hardwoods like Bloodwood, Bubinga, Purpleheart, Red Oak, Walnut, and Yellowheart—each chosen for its unique grain character, color depth, and finishing potential. Whether you prefer deep burgundy tones, warm traditional browns, or bold natural golds, each material brings a different personality to the same proven blade platform.
Every kit arrives gift-boxed, making the Letterman™ series equally suited for personal builds, display pieces, or handcrafted gifts. Whether you’re a seasoned knife maker or just getting started with custom builds, this collection delivers a clean foundation with plenty of room to make it your own.
