Tom, I used my #27 mini, but very little, as the opener for letters. Better for a hiking went 11-3, he handle thicker, this allows you to make more effort. But the blade 27 I like Toward the middle of the summer I will order himself another 27 mini, with copper handle #25

Guido, That Mini #1 looks legit, from what I can see in a photo,...'BUT'...( I know: That "word" again)...it is not real "early". The blade stamp is "Fl". That stamp wasn't around until the mid 1980's... Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
