5¼ Inches Open 2 Inch Blade This is an amazing piece of ladies history! Polite Victorian-Era women couldn't be seen taking unseemly chomps out of messy fruits and nuts, so proper ladies carried fruit knives like this one to daintily slice their snacks into lady-like bites before carefully eating them. This particular antique fruit knife is still in fully functioning condition. Dating back to about the 1860s, this knife has been beautifully maintained. Each side of the knife shows a highly detailed thistle and floral design.

The nameplate has not been monogramed, however, there is an engraving of the name "Cora" on one side of the blade. The blade is stamped "Sterling" & "27". Along side the blade is a pick for removing pits, seeds, or nuts. When the knife is closed it measures approximately 3¼ inches in length. The blade itself measures approximately 2 inches, for a total length of just over 5¼ inches.

All parts of this knife - blade, housing and pick - are constructed of solid. 925 sterling silver, this knife weighs 37.5 grams. The versatility of this knife makes it a true treasure. Whether you are an avid collector of antique blades, women's artifacts, or sterling silver, you will love this stunning knife!
