Just wanted to post one of the nicest, silver fruit knives I own. I collect antique silver fruit knives.
Description:
This antique fruit knife is solid sterling silver with a sterling blade. It is gilded with gold and has the English silver hallmarks for Sheffield 1823 & the maker's mark for John Taylor.
The condition is excellent with no dents, repairs or other damage. The engraved blade is in good condition, intact with no bends, and it closes well. The knife measures 2 7/8" long closed and 5" open. The spring cover has a stepped design.
