JH Tee Antiques offers an extensive selection of English silver knives. You will find brand new sterling silver knives made in Sheffield available in traditional patterns to match antique flatware sets. In the 18th and 19th century, knives were made by a cutler, rather than a silversmith. They had carbon steel blades with either ivory or (often flimsy) silver handles and they were not built to last. As a result it is difficult, if not impossible, to find sets of antique English silver knives in fine condition. As an alternative to antique silver knives we carry brand new knives with sterling silver handles
