A paper knife or letter opener is a knife-like object used to open envelopes or to slit uncut pages of books. An electric version is also available, which uses motors to slide the envelopes across a blade, and is also able to handle increased amounts of envelopes, but the blade can slice into the contents of the envelope and damage them.
