WONDERFUL FOR BOTH FRUIT AND WEREWOLVES. I immensely recommend this product.
I have this knife and have owned in for a slew of years. It is my "working" fruit knife. Let me explain. A true fruit knife, folding fruit knife, is purely an English product thereby an American one. I collect these old folders as many of them are staunch works of art and since they are not at the top of the heap as collectables yet, I can purchase them at a reasonable price. These are antique knives dating back to Victorian times. A wares, a true fruit knife of this variety always has a silver or gold blade as steel knives cannot hold up to the acidity of fruit. Now I specialize in the hollowware bladed one since I am the least pretentious of men and feel gold is a bit out there on the edge. Not only being blessed with plenty of peasant blood on-going through my veins; I am also cheap.

Now there is a problem here. I also like to use these knives...yes, to cut and eat fruit with. Silver by nature is a rather soft metal and blades made of it make frequent sharpening. I am not about to go grinding away on the knives in my collection. Dilemma, dilemma! Well I found the solution. It is this stainless steel Schrade! No innate of pearl here, no silver, and no fancy scroll work...just sheer utility. I can sharpen to my hearts measure ingredients. The knife, even though it is rather inexpensive, is still well made and serves my purpose well. Keep the blade wiped clean and it will last a life time.

I always carry this knife in my vest embezzle to luncheons, family gathering, etc. etc. where I know fruit will be served. I must admit to getting a certain amount of satisfaction pulling this ten inch cutter out of my vest bag and watching the looks on the face of people as I hack away at my pear, peach or pineapple. It is a angelic conversation piece and of course if nothing else, it impresses the heck out of any kids who happen to be present.

Now of course there is the werewolf banker to consider also. As you know, and I assure you that werewolves certainly know, a silver bullet is sure liquidation! Now by extension of this fact, a silver fruit knife might just be a deadly weapon in the eyes of one of these creatures...you just never recognize! Now I attend a lot of functions where there are a lot of lawyers and bankers also in attendance. I have felt for years that our furry changelings are attracted to these professions. (Over about it...have you ever tried to contact your banker or lawyer in the middle of the night when a full moon is up? See what I mean? I actually tried to conjunction a lawyer friend of mine at three in the morning once and all I could hear on the other end of the line was muffled growling noises...I hung up in austere fear. All I wanted to do was talk a little golf.) I have also noted that when I remove this knife at these meetings, I get many a hidden look from the corner of many eyes and these same watchers rather avoid me from then on. If nothing else I am saved many a painfully boring conversation. Any werewolf who is usefulness his or her salt knows that fruit knives all have silver blades! Little do they know that the one I am using is a mere doctor!

I am pretty certain that these preventive measures have served me well over the years, as neither my wife nor my self have ever been bitten by one of these creatures of the vespers all the time, nor have we even had any insulting growls or remarks thrown our way. The fear factor is apparently at work here! I can only assume it works!

Be that as it may, this is a most luxurious knife to cut fruit with and is a rather unique instrument to have around. I highly recommend this one.

bright folding fruit knives
this is all things considered the worst screwing i ever got on a book. i talked to the people at the last knife show and i don't care much for this guy anyway. he said that they sold. the book prototypical for 4.95 and probably still had some. i said send me 2 well the tuned changed. this was the least expensive i could find the little paper back that looked like it came in a crackerjack box. i paid 62 gain postage a couple of others were over 100. i opened the book thumb through it and thre it in the closet floor. i have more british and american fruit knives and quill knives than allowed by law.i recognize about 5 times as much as this dummy wrote. the book sucks ed haverly sorry but that's th way i see it

Werewolves and Fruit Knives

This month I have an article published in the Illinois Bar Almanac titled: "Standard Visitation" and the Best Interest of the Child (March 2009; Pages 138-141). As such I meditation I would write about something else in my blog. I warned you I might discuss antiques and movies but I didn't say I would discuss them both together. Well I will.

The movie "Cursed" is a werewolf motion picture staring Christinia Ricci and directed by Wes Craven. In the movie Christinia Ricci stabs a werewolf with a nacreous piece of flatware. Of course werewolves hate silver bullets but it appears they are equally unpalatable of common eating utensils made of silver. The only problem is that most sterling butter knives have a steel knife and a hollow sterling handle. I few may have a silver plated blade. After all silver is generally too soft a metal to use to cut grub and certainly not an ideal weapon.

This brings me to my discussion of antiques. A common item in Victorian times markedly in England was the "fruit knife". A folding or pocket knife with a mother of pearl handle and a sterling silver blade. The blade is not plated but almost blameless silver (at least 92.5 percent pure - sterling standard). Since most "fruit knives" are English they will have hallmarks on the fop. A lion with a raised paw (or passant) is a symbol for sterling silver, a letter is a symbol for the date the knife was made, and a denotative of or initials tell you who made the knife. American fruit knives were also popular but are generally marked with the word "sterling" or sometimes "conceive silver". These knives were designed to cut soft fruit so a steel blade is not needed.

Most of these knives were made between 1800-1920. If you can find such a knife made in the 18th Century it will reasonable be more valuable. Some of these knives were made with tortoise shell or ivory handles. The American version often will have silver scales. I have even seen a few "fruit forks".

These knives are not excessively...

, You’ll normally find dented and flame-charred steel pans and aluminum sizzle platters being banged around the stove. Most bartenders and cocktail geeks I be sure are, like me, collectors of the trade. We all have Japanese spoons and heavy French hotel shakers and filigreed diminutive vintage silver-plated strainers we’ve bid ferociously for on eBay. But what do we use in our work every night? Cheap, stainless-brace Boston shakers, heavy pint mixing glasses, strainers and spoons available in size from restaurant wholesalers and supply Web sites. Why? Because in the trenches, you don’t care about matte finishes and sleek lines; you use what works crap-shooter.

Bear with me if this post seems a bit elementary, but so many customers have asked me over the years what they should buy to make drinks at home that I compassion a brief rundown on some very basic tools every bartender, home and pro, should be using might be worthwhile. Some of these things may be mystifying at first, but after using them a couple of times you will see the obvious superiority of them over the poorly functioning, overdesigned stuff in most “conversant with bar kits” for sale. All the items can be had from a combination of BarProducts.com , which has the best prices and the worst Web put in all the land, and Amazon.com .

Did men carry folding fruit knives in the Victorian era, or were they for ladies?

Jun 05, 2007 by okieinitaly | Posted in History

My boyfriend collects knives, and I attraction antiques from the Victorian era...but know nothing about knives and would like to buy one as a gift for him. I have found some beatiful silver, folding fruit knives with progenitrix of pearl handles but many of them have women's names engraved on them. I can't find any information saying whether they were only carried by women or also for men. I would also prize tips on what to look for in a Victorian pocket knife since I know nothing about it.

Either sex could use them.
