Put in for a Montblanc letter opener
I've been looking for a letter opener for some time now. I've been using a steak knife forever. There's got to be a better way! Originally looking at a Purisme carbon fiber letter opener. I just realized I've been thinking about this for almost 10 years as the Purisme dates to 2008. Well I wasn't lucky enough to get a Purisme but the next best thing seems to be the Montblanc 111468. I can't seem to find much about it though. No text about some exotic wood inlay or paragraph about the designer. It just seems Montblanc treats it as desk fodder. Just Ruthenium plated steel with dark wood inlay. It looks like there's some Marc Newson influence but I can't confirm. Are there any websites that go into detail about such things? It would be fun if there was some brief story behind it other than a summer interns design project. It's stamped as being made in Italy of which seems interesting to me. Much of their other office accessories look to be made in Italy as well.

No idea on all this unnecessarily co-branded goods... not something I'd go to MontBlanc boutique to buy. same with their toilette water & travel goods & leather goods.
Was hanging around boutique earlier in the year when some lady rushed in, she asked staff if they sold suspenders. No? How about a shoehorn? No. hmm ok... Nice pens. Nice ink. Everything else, nah. |
