Product Description

Antique Silver Folding Fruit Knife.

English antique silver folding fruit knife with decorative mother of pearl handle.

Hallmarked from Sheffield in 1892 with the makers mark being that of Arthur Worral Staniforth.

Although there is some very minor blade wear, overall this is a good example of considerable size.

Measures 154 mm in length when opened and 88 mm when closed.

Folding fruit knives are believed to have first appeared in France around the 17th century. They initially had blades of silver or gold since these materials were corrosion resistant (against acidic fruit juice) and men often gave them as presents to their wives or girlfriends.
