Picked these up over the weekend at one of my favorite(they are ALL my favorite!)antique shops. A set of six miniature table knives made in England but have a Canadian etch on them in the original box.
A set of eight miniature hors d' oeuvres forks with bamboo handles made by Zumboo for Viking Imports in the original box.
Spent a total of $15 for both.I love miniature stuff!

I really like the little hors d'oeuvre/cocktail finger-food forks. They show more class and are easier on the eyes than toothpicks.knife7knut wrote:Picked these up over the weekend at one of my favorite(they are ALL my favorite!)antique shops.

4 1/2" OAL on the spreader knives. Unless you're talking the small, souvenir size jars, I doubt they'd be really good for most jars. But they look good!
Now, I know my folks have a set of grapefruit spoons with those same bamboo handles. Probably made by the same company. I like the looks of them. Although the way the bamboo is, it makes them uncomfortable.

Re: Dinkee knives & Zumboo forks.............
I think the small knives were made for spreading material such as jellies and such that were already out of the jar. Not sure what grapefruit spoons are;would you be referring to the style of spoon that has a fancy handle on it as a souvenir of a place?cody6268 wrote:4 1/2" OAL on the spreader knives.

As an aside;I have a grapefruit knife that is actually two blades fit closely together that is used to put over the divider of the segments and cut two sides at once. Then it is reversed so the other end can cut under the segment and lift it out.
