Set of twelve pitch filled King's pattern silver handled table knives with steel blades. Two handles are Georgian, and ten are Victorian. Two have Georgian blades, eight Victorian and two Edwardian. The two Georgian handles have a crest engraved to one side. For those unfamiliar with old steel blades, please be aware that they are harder than modern steel and so take a much sharper edge. | ||
