King George by Gorham

Gorham introduced King George in 1894. Another substantial pattern by Gorham, King George has a shell design on the end of the terminal, a palm (or grass like) design at the base of the terminal and the top of the shoulder. Nice lines follow the stem from the terminal down.

Henry II by Gorham

Gorham introduced Henry II in 1900. The design of the pattern is very formal and heavy with embellishment around the terminal with an area suitable for engraving. An interesting "fleur de lis" depiction tops the stem with (what looks like) a zipper design going down the stem to yet another image on the shoulder. All in all, a substantial pattern in the tradition of the house of Gorham. 

Note the good examples of the differences between a "New" hollow handle knife and an "Old" one.
