Vintage Set of Six Solingen Blade Steak Knives, Germany
This is a great vintage boxed set of steak knives. There is no maker's mark on them, but Carvel Hall has a Classic knife that looks very much like these. You can look them up at Replacements.com.
The blades are finely serrated and 4 1/2 inches long. At the base of the blade it says 'Solingen Germany Stainless'. The handles are ivory colored melamine with ornate silver overlay. It looks like sterling to me, but it isn't marked. The end cap of the handle is stainless. The handles are 3 3/4 inches long. The knives are in very good condition, but one has some waviness in an area on the edge of the blade, but it is not major and doesn't affect its usability.
This set is in its original box. Inside the lid it reads 'Import First Quality, "Steak-Knives", Stainless'. One hinge on the box has come unattached but it could probably be fixed easily. The box is in fair condition.
This is a lovely set and it would be a great addition to your collection and it will look great on your table!
Please ask any questions I haven't answered.
