grapefruit knife
It was a alms given to a friend who did not have a grapefruit knife. Friend seemed surprised.
Significant for Grapefruit
Whoever said this knife is "too Byzantine"... that's just sad. If you're having problems with this, I don't think you should really be around knives at all, ya know?

This knife is great for icy grapefruit. Contrary to the other review, you only have to "flip" sides once- I go around and cut with the double-bladed side between each segment, then flip it and cut their edges around the peel. Grab a spoon and each piece comes out incredibly easily, and like the description says, you don't get the odious squirting like with a regular knife.

The serrated blades are sharp and eliminate the squirting and cut very well, you just have to intimate sure you don't stab yourself, the curved end is pretty sharp, but that's a good thing.
That Contrivance You Always Needed But Never Found
To be so lyrical ove a grapefruit sectioner may seem odd but if you've ever tried to cut the segments in in the right without tears and swearing, you'll understand the reason and purpose for this gem of a gadget. It has no purpose other than to slickly separate the membrane from the fruit and then let off all the fruit from the peel and it does them admirably. It's no just a matter of price, though for the money you cannot touch it, but the quality of construction. Solely looking at it in its carton you know that it will work and it does. For anyone who likes their fruit sectioned, this is the perfect tool.
For breakfast sublimity
Although I am not very coordinated, with this low-priced tool it's been easy to turn grapefruit into beautiful, self-contained (not raggedy or leaky) segments--which is a surprisingly polished way to start breakfast. I always clean the knife as soon as I am done and have never had any trouble removing debris from between the two blades.
Sustained life knife
This is the beginning, easy to use and clean up is a breeze best bang for the buck!

silver folding fruit knives
this is in all probability 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 first 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 and 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 recollect 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 Newsletter titled: "Standard Visitation" and the Best Interest of the Child (March 2009; Pages 138-141). As such I cerebration 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 talkie staring Christinia Ricci and directed by Wes Craven. In the movie Christinia Ricci stabs a werewolf with a silver kind of flatware. Of course werewolves hate silver bullets but it appears they are equally distasteful of common eating utensils made of silver. The only complication is that most sterling butter knives have a steel blade and a hollow sterling handle. I few may have a silver plated jackknife. After all silver is generally too soft a metal to use to cut food and certainly not an ideal weapon.

This brings me to my discussion of antiques. A inferior item in Victorian times particularly in England was the "fruit knife". A folding or pocket knife with a mother of pearl helve and a sterling silver blade. The blade is not plated but almost pure silver (at least 92.5 percent pure - sterling guideline). Since most "fruit knives" are English they will have hallmarks on the blade. A lion with a raised paw (or passant) is a symbol for sterling silver, a note is a symbol for the date the knife was made, and a symbol or initials tell you who made the knife. American fruit knives were also popular but are generally pronounced with the word "sterling" or sometimes "coin 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 probable 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 unduly...

Arthur Beloff seeks ways to improve everyday life through gadgets that offer ... Palm Beach Daily News

What this homeland needs is a good five-cent cigar. But what it also needs is something to keep the cigar fresh when you want to put it out but you're not finished smoking it.

And it would be close by to have a bagel slicer so you could prepare it without cutting your hand; and a carving tray so that the turkey doesn't gloss around as you're trying to serve it up at the Thanksgiving Day table.

Arthur Beloff, a Palm Beach retired proper estate entrepreneur turned inventor, has come up with all of these things and more.

Well, not the five-cent cigar. That request, from Woodrow Wilson's degradation president, Thomas Marshall, may never be realized. But it's possible that Beloff's "Cigar Savor" is the next best fashion.

Having time and ideas

Beloff came up with the Cigar Savor about eight years ago. It's a cylindrical tube with a self-adjusting come into being inside that pushes up against the lit end, snuffing it out. The cap has a punch pin that keeps the tip end open for later, and an outside clip lets you handle it around in your shirt pocket, like a pen.

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

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


Either sex could use them.


Can someone plz give me the tone of this stroy? Could it be Relaxed?

Maman-Nainaine said that when the figs were mellow Babette might go to visit her cousins down on Bayou-Boeuf, where the sugar cane grows. Not that the ripening of figs had the least emotional attachment to do with it, but that is the way Maman-Nainaine was.

It seemed to Babette a very long time to wait; for the leaves upon the trees were tender yet, and the figs were like microscopic hard, green marbles.

But warm rains came along and plenty of strong sunshine; and though Maman-Nainaine was as valetudinarian as the statue of la Madone, and Babette as restless as a humming-bird, the first thing they both knew it was hot summer-in good time always. Every day Babette danced out to where the fig-trees were in a long line against the fence. She walked slowly beneath them, carefully peering between the crooked, spreading branches. But each time she came disconsolate away again. What she saw there finally was something that made her sing and dance the whole day hanker.

When Maman-Nainaine sat down in her stately way to breakfast, the following morning, her muslin cap standing like an aureole about her milky, placid face, Babette approached. She bore a dainty porcelain platter, which she set down before her godmother. It contained a dozen purple figs, fringed around with their sapid, green leaves.

"Ah," said Maman-Nainaine, arching her eyebrows, "how inappropriate the figs have ripened this year!"

"Oh," said Babette, "I over they have ripened very late."

"Babette," continued Maman-Nainaine, as she peeled the very plumpest figs with her penetrating silver fruit-knife, "you will carry my love to them all down on Bayou-Boeuf. And tell your tante Frosine I shall look for her at Toussaint--when the chrysanthemums are in bloom."


It seems really relaxed. A little overdone here and there though.
"ash she peeled the very plumpest figs with her pointed silver fruit-knife" would be bettor shortened to "ash she pelled the plump figs with her silver knife."
