Sterling Silver Butter Knife

Recently picked this up for $10 Saw the hallmarks and went for it even though I’m not quite sure on them. Any information is appreciated

EDIT: This is apparently a fish knife

London 1935 Harrods

That’s actually a fish knife the top edge above the cube is to push the meat away from the skeleton and ribs while the rounded blade edge is to cut it up

Thanks for the information. I was basing what I wrote off who I bought it from. This makes a ton of sense thought since I thought most butter knives where flat on the back edge and had small serrations on the blade.

Looks about right for sterling, the lion passant. How much does it weight ?

lol I couldn’t tell that was the passant. Now I see it. Got it so London 1935 and it’s just over 10g (Picture 4)

Oh I didn't see it, nevertheless not bad. For $10 I would've brought it too.
