DescriptionPair of metal knives. The handle of each knife is symmetrical on both sides. Each side of the handle is raised in the middle, with an outline of raised beads along the edge. The blade of each knife is curves downward slightly all along the bottom edge. The top of each blade curves upward slightly for most of the edge, but the final inch drops into a point at the end.
The knives are roughly finished in the midsection at the base of the handle. They do not appear to be machine made.
