Citrus Knife

Rarely do you come across a piece of sterling flatware that differs in style and design from pattern to pattern as does the Citrus Knife. In most patterns, the knife has a serrated blade and is shaped much like a dinner knife but much shorter, an example being Georgian. Then you have the example in Louis XV that has a hook in the end and deep serrations in the blade. Chrysanthemum by Tiffany is another whole animal in its design, as is Oval Twist.
