The Fruit Knife, like other knives, came in solid and hollow handle. Both are shown here. It interesting, like with the spoons, some patterns differentiate between different fruit. For example here in Imperial Queen by Whiting there is a Fruit Knife and an Orange Knife, which are clearly two different pieces of silver.
