I don't think they're exactly what you're referring to though, as the knives are more like long round-tipped butter knives and the forks have long tines. I do have some of the engraved knives though, in their pretty little cases.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-82487492101673092732008-01-29T13:56:00.000+00:002008-01-29T13:56:00.000+00:00Now that I have emerged from the shadows, red-face...Now that I have emerged from the shadows, red-faced, over your fish service comment ... I must protest ... if only on aesthetic grounds ... the fish service I have (which dates from about 1880) is the most ravishing thing imaginable ... with sturgeons, etc, delicately worked in relief on the blades and all manner of eels and other fishy creatures worked into the design of the handles. Oh, I do so love it, even though de trop. As an example of the silversmith's art, it is mesmerizingly, weirdly pretty. Still, I promise only to use it alone, in private, when I dine on Dover sole à la Marcel Boulestin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-77026324271167946962008-01-29T11:29:00.000+00:002008-01-29T11:29:00.000+00:00thanks mamacita!thanks mamacita!HOBAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354831628721898035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-25191284601279713782008-01-29T10:51:00.000+00:002008-01-29T10:51:00.000+00:00Good to know about fish knives and forks.
