Lizzy Tex Borden's

I noticed my mom using a letter opener that had been
around a while and I wondered where it came from. It had an
inscription on the top of it so I looked
it up on the internet.

Coco Joe's, based in Punaluu, Hawaii, produced lava
resin souvenirs popular with tourists. Founded in the 1950s,
the company thrived through the 1960s

to the 1980s before closing.

Their black resin pieces, made from pulverized
Hawaiian lava mixed with resin, are now sought-after
collectibles and offer an affordable way to explore

Hawaiian culture and art. The "blade" is stainless steel.

Nobody around here knows how this thing
made it's way onto The Ranch.
