WONDERFUL FOR BOTH FRUIT AND WEREWOLVES. I tremendously recommend this product.
I have this knife and have owned in for a multitude 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 compile these old folders as many of them are true 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 appropriate, 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 greyish 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 continuous 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 want 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 look after of pearl here, no silver, and no fancy scroll work...just sheer utility. I can sharpen to my hearts subject-matter. 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 camp 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 keep and watching the looks on the face of people as I hack away at my pear, peach or pineapple. It is a sound 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 backer to consider also. As you know, and I assure you that werewolves certainly know, a silver bullet is sure termination! 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 differentiate! 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. (Believe 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 telephone 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 origin 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 secretive 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 merit 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 sham!

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 shades of night, 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 friendly knife to cut fruit with and is a rather unique instrument to have around. I highly recommend this one.

Werewolves and Fruit Knives

This month I have an article published in the Illinois Bar Catalogue titled: "Standard Visitation" and the Best Interest of the Child (March 2009; Pages 138-141). As such I scheme 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 film staring Christinia Ricci and directed by Wes Craven. In the movie Christinia Ricci stabs a werewolf with a shining piece of flatware. Of course werewolves hate silver bullets but it appears they are equally repugnant of common eating utensils made of silver. The only problem is that most sterling butter knives have a steel ladies' man 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 nutriment and certainly not an ideal weapon.

This brings me to my discussion of antiques. A common item in Victorian times strikingly in England was the "fruit knife". A folding or pocket knife with a mother of pearl handle and a sterling silver blade. The sabre is not plated but almost pure silver (at least 92.5 percent pure - sterling standard). Since most "fruit knives" are English they will have hallmarks on the bayonet. 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 watchword or initials tell you who made the knife. American fruit knives were also popular but are generally marked with the word "sterling" or sometimes "enrich oneself 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 favourite 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 immoderately...

Haiti earthquake: law and order on a knife edge Telegraph.co.uk

He was captivated across the road by a crowd some two dozen strong, beaten up and - in a street between a church and an art gallery - put on a pile of twaddle, covered in more rubbish, and set on fire.

The grisly remains suggested that he had died with a burning rubber tyre around his neck in the chic known in South Africa as the "Sowetan necklace".

"They put a tyre round him," said Antoine Miguel with a giggle. "It's not good justice but if they don't do it nobody else will."

As others passed the charred but clearly recognisable remains without so much as a glance, Mr Miguel, a sand lorry driver, said that misdemeanour in the area had become very serious.

"We have a lot of robbers round here now. The thieves were just in town before but in the past couple of days they've been coming here."

Although it was outrageous to confirm his claim, he said that a trader had had his throat cut in the main square during a robbery. "Everyone's scared," he added.

While still occasional, violence is occurring with growing frequency across the city as citizens grow increasingly desperate.

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

My boyfriend collects knives, and I infatuation 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 protect 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 admire tips on what to look for in a Victorian pocket knife since I know nothing about it.


Either sex could use them.


I need knife in particular shape for fruit cutting purpose in large nos, where can I find the manufacturers?

Please help, I accidently cut myself with a knife and it's really deep and I dont know how to treat it?

I was venomous a fruit then the knife slipped and cut my wrist deeply last night and it's been bleeding ever since. What should I do? Should I apply pressure? Cold be unbelievable? Anti Biotics?


Polish it with saline solution, wrap tightly to close the wound and head for the doctor's chore for stitches. If it hasn't stopped bleeding on its own by now, its not going to!

Saline (salt water) is what makes up the fluids in your core. It well clean the area without killing the cells like other cleaners will. With deep cuts, it is not a good hypothesis to put any sort of "ointment" inside the wound.
