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...
Judie Byrd demonstrates the most beneficent way to cut a pineapple, cantaloupe, avocado, mango, and kiwi.
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.
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.
Preferably in South India

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.
