park1226 Posts: 102 Registered: Jun 2005	posted 06-14-2005 05:17 PM [26-0492] Please help me id this unusual small flat handled knife. It is 5 " long and serrated across the top like an orange knife but it feels too small when held to actually be a fruit knife. The claw-like tip looks like it might be a lobster or shell fish utensil? None of my old catalogs or other refs. show anything like this. What is it? Thanks. IP: Logged

I just found a picture of a Kirk Repousse fruit/orange knife with the identical pronged blade in the Hood book, Tiffany Silver Flatware, 1845-1905, page 54. It measure 7' and is 2" longer than the Tyrolean example. Thanks for helping me resolve this. ------------------ IP: Logged

Also thru an internet search there was a website that had a set of 12 of your knives for sale Glad I could be of assistance. Jersey IP: Logged
