There is nothing that Craighill builds that is NOT....PERFECT.
ADD this to their list.
I have TWO of these.....because....
I'm a designer with two studios.....and I use these all the time.
First.
The design..itself...it beautiful......it is SLEEK in your hand....designed to fit comfortably in your PALM.....and it WORKS.
the knife is SHARP....cuts thru cardboard...paper....like BUTTER....as i try to use these in lieu of scissors...just cuz.
I grab this all day long to assist in my design studios...creating things outta thin air....and used with materials that...at times...will not budge with a simple exacto knife blade...but...VOILA...WILL be cut with this beautiful blade.
It is both lovely and functioning.....oh...and SUBSTANIAL.....SO.......what better tool to use on a daily basic.
If you CRAVE .......the unusual....the beautiful..... the ability to SURROUND oneself with ORDER and DESIGN.....and...a fantastic TOOL AT HAND.......buy this people.
You will not be disappointed.

Disclaimer - I own several Craighill products and love the majority of them (including the all puzzles, 3 types of trays, and several of the "desk" products). This review is for the desk knife in brass only (for which I've also purchased the plinth also).
I have owned this knife for close to 3 years now, and got my utility out of it as a decorative piece, but also strictly opening up letters a plethora of amazon boxes that arrive every single day. Given the price standpoint, I would have expected this knife to last me a lifetime. However, this was not the case, when I opened up my latest package, while applying excessive force at an awkward angle. The picture sums it all up - while the edge is not necessarily too sharp, the tip has bent completely after opening up a package that was sealed with fiberglass tape. Obviously YMMV here with your usage, but I was disappointed to have this happen, especially since all of the other products I've owned were high quality and reliable until this day.
