Letter knife & letter scale.
Epistola is Latin for letter, and per it's maker, the Swedish Simplicitas, it "offers a double helping hand for the busy writing desk; incoming mail is opened with the knife and outgoing letters are weighed using the holes and a pencil.". Simplicitas makes a range of latin-named stainless steel items including; Veritas, the unbreakable mirror, Resto, the bottle opener & sealer, Lamina, the easy handable cheeseknife and IC, the Roman number for 99, smart clip. Thanks Andrew!

Veritas, the unbreakable mirror. "Veritas, the Latin word for truth, is made of stainless steel polished into a perfectly reflectning surface. The credit card-sized mirror fits in any purse or wallet. Throw it against the wall, bend it or sing opera to it. The risk of seven years bad luck is non-existent.".
Resto, the bottle opener & sealer. "Resto, the Latin word for "stay put", will help you to master the light-footed bubbles in your carbonated beverage. The gas is not only added for taste but also preserves freshness. So if your thirst is satisfied and the bottle isn’t empty, just add the cap to the bottle, snap it with your thumb and reseal it with your Resto.".
Lamina, the easy handable cheesekit. "Lamina, the Latin word for thin slice. The cheese tastes better if eaten in thin slices rather than in chunks, as the slice of cheese is exposed to a larger number of the mouth’s taste buds.".
IC, the Smart Clip. "IC is produced from stainless steel and can be used in a number of different ways: as a money clip, a bookmark, a memo holder, or as a place card on the dinner table, etc. IC is even more useful for those using their "Intellectual Capital", creatively exploiting the full range of senses to view objects from new and hidden perspectives. How many helping hands do you see?".
