First one is a combination letter opener/ink eraser.Can't read the name.
Second is a Mexican dagger made for the tourist trade. They come in many sizes.

I agree it appears to be an ink eraser, it is 10 1/2" long and is rather heavy. All of the ones I have seen before are around 6" and very light weight.


Thanks for the input.

Most of them aren't configured to act as a letter opener too.I'm assuming that trapezoidal shaped section just above the eraser is sharp.It is a bit unusual to see them that long but also equally strange to see them shorter. Here is one that is less than 3 inches long.

The tip from the wide area down to the point is sharp, looks like a factory grind.

I have seen similar items listed on ebay as a blood letting knife, none of them are close to this large. I have tried a google search for the name stamped on it ( multiple spellings) no luck either. Threw it on ebay yesterday as an ink eraser we will see where that goes.
