Re: HARVEY BROS. MOP FRUIT KNIFE
It isn't a fruit knife; it is a standard pen knife with fancy bolsters made in Germany probably in the 1920's or 30's. I have several of them by various makers(all German). Apparently it was a popular method of decorating knives of that era in Germany.
A fruit knife would have either a plated or solid silver blade and hall marks(or marked sterling or coin depending on silver content).
