Hand Forged Sterling Charcuterie Knife - REED & BARTON FRANCIS 1 - #3358

This one‑of‑a‑kind sterling charcuterie knife began as a simple youth dinner knife in the legendary Francis I pattern by Reed & Barton. Introduced in 1907 and inspired by Renaissance‑era artistry, Francis I is famous for its rich, sculptural fruit‑and‑floral motifs — a pattern so beloved it became one of the most collected sterling designs in American history.

We’ve reshaped this piece into a beautifully functional charcuterie knife by hand-sharpening the blade so it’s ready for meats and cheeses at your next gathering. Pair it with a wooden board and your favorite bites, and it quietly becomes the piece everyone reaches for. It also makes a thoughtful, easy‑to‑love hostess gift.

For all of our designs we choose wonderful authentic vintage/antique silverware. Once chosen, the pieces are modified and beautified by HAND; they are cut, drilled, filed and polished, etc.  We do not cast/mold any of our designs, they are all handmade, one-of-a-kind creations. All of our creations are handmade - as such no two items are exactly alike. 

Condition: Please note, this is an antique item that was once used as a utensil. As a result, there may be some wear to the silver, fine scratches or marks from use. But some wear gives the piece patina and personality. We do our best to disclose any condition issues of note.
