My Cutlery

[nerwengreen]

These are the pieces of my 45-piece cutlery set. I have eight butter knives, dinner forks, salad forks, big spoons, and little spoons. I also have one serving fork, one slotted serving spoon, one serving spoon, one grapefruit(?) spoon, and a knife thing that I'm not sure what it's for. Here's some closer looks at the knife:



Anyone want to tell me what it is?

It is a fish knife. An individual cheese knife would be shorter and smaller, the larger ones wouldn't have an angle that's a bit like a fork's. It's a design thing, though.

Cheese knives come in a set of two. One sharp one resembling that one, but most commonly with two spiky bits at the end, and the other one looks like a miniature meat cleaver.

Coming from a professional caterer... ;)

Thank you for weighing in (and sorry I missed this until just now). My overall impression is that different places put it to different uses. ;) All the "fish knife" people are in England (or at least, all the other ones - I'm not sure where you are).
