This silver plated table knife speaks timeless elegance. This loose cutlery item can be purchased singularly or multiple times, whether it is required to extend an existing cutlery set or replace a lost item. Rattail is recognised as one of the oldest English cutlery designs, dating from the early 1600\'s with a distinctive \'tail\' on the back of the spoon bowls and forks which is said to give additional strength to the joint. The rattail design also features a prominent rib down the front of the handle. All pieces carry the authentic Mappin & Webb hallmark, a symbol of our quality and excellence in cutlery since 1775.
