Heavily remixed from mathiaspl20 design from Thingiverse
Designed this as a fidget toy that doubly functions as a letter opener, yet looks tactical enough to be cool. You'd need a single rubber band and a well tuned 3D printer with tight tolerances. I use Cura and have the setting for "inset" at 0.04mm so that parts snap together tightly.
It works amazingly well for me.
Disclaimer: Use responsibly and with caution. The blade edges and tip can be rather sharp, though they've been designed to have a thickness and the tip has been rounded.
