Maybe they're part of a "Kastrati Konstruction Kit", Measure and Adjust with *just one tool*! They supply the Materials. We supply the Means. The Motive is *up to you*!

It looks like a women's club conversation piece from the dainty grip to the decorative point. Probably a whimsical gift among the affluent. There's no guard or finger choil so it was intended for light cutting. The length of the cutting edge isn't curved so it was intended for use on a flat cutting surface. The point is decorated to the edge so it wasn't intended for use. It was probably relegated to cake/bread cutting duty at high tea.

I almost suggested cake knife.
Or one of those Holy Spatula things with which they hand out the crackers.

They do now!
Tea was supposedly introduced to Europe by a traveling Italian right around the same time those knives were made. There were probably upper class, late afternoon/early evening, social gatherings where food was served before the nighttime meal at about eight (as was the practice then). The actual English term High Tea; however, wouldn't come into use for another century. Last edited by sexobon; 01-07-2018 at 11:10 PM. Reason: tossed a couple commas in |
