The silver handled knives with stainless steel blades were made in 2022 and have the hallmarks of the late Queen’s platinum jubilee and compliment this fiddle pattern set perfectly. Useful wraps have been supplied to help keep this set neat and tidy and the set weighs 112.3 troy ounces (3,492 grams) without the silver handled knives.
