A paper knife extends from a rectangular silver handle diagonally into a long, polished, translucent tan blade with a rounded tip. The handle houses an inset watch featuring a vibrant turquoise face, gold Roman numerals, and hands beneath glass. A row of dark blue stones accents the handle base, while blue sapphire crowns the top. The blade exhibits a smooth, glossy finish, creating a sleek transition from the ornate silver handle at the top right.
