Can anyone help me identify what the thin tool is called or what it was used for?

Re: Help identify
Looks like a fruit knife. The “thin tool” is for picking seed from citrus.

Re: Help identify
A lot of fruit knives have sterling silver blades. Can you tell if it is steel or silver? Any silversmith markings?

Re: Help identify
I cannot find any markings on the knife but I think you’re correct about it being a nut pick. Thank you
Re: Help identify
I found the below picture in another post. It is the same engraving pattern. Does the name under the photo mean anything to anyone?

Re: Help identify
The name under the picture is the name that is engraved onto the handle;likely the original owner.There is no maker's name on the knife.

Re: Help identify
It looks to me like the knife might be silver plate. You can tell by gently and slightly bending the seed pick. If plate it will move back to the original position. If silver it will stay bent but you can gently bend it back to the original position.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
