This is a lovely set of 4 fruit knives which come with little red leather covers to protect each blade. The blades have a serrated edge and are marked SHEFFIELD ENGLAND STAINLESS and the handles appear to be made of (or look like) Mother of Pearl. Each knife measures 4-1/2" (handle measures 2"). They belonged to my Grandmother, so I know they are over 25 years old and I do not believe they were ever used. Mint
