About the Item

Encased in navy blue leather and protected by gold velvet, this set of 4 serving utensils includes a carving fork and knife and a salad serving fork and spoon. The carving knife has the maker's initials and the word “inoxydable” which means stainless or rust proof in French. The carving fork features a protective lever attached to the back. The idea is that when you have a large piece of meat (such as a large prime rib or so), it's difficult to balance the meat to be able to cut it vertically. Instead, you cut it horizontally from the right with your carving knife (assuming you are right-handed). To keep the meat from slipping away, you stick the fork in from the left, using your left hand. That puts the fork (and your left hand holding the fork) directly into the path of the knife when it exits whatever you’re cutting. The sudden lack of resistance could cause the knife to "jump" towards your hand. With this guard, the knife hits the guard rather than the hand. The salad fork and spoon are fit with amber celluloid heads and offer a lovely contrast to the polished metal. Make sure to view the detailed images for a closer look.
