Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This is a great example of a Georgian fruit knife with mother-of-pearl handles and folding silver blade. It has the bonus of being contained within its original red crocodile leather covered box and consequently remains in fabulous condition throughout. The mother-of-pearl is beautifully decorated and bears a scroll-shaped silver cartouche bearing the engraved name "S.Pinks".
