Silver coloured, plated fish knife. The blade is elongated, widening towards the tip. The blade is rounded on one side and straight on the other. The tip of the blade is pointed. On one side, along the straight edge, the blade was decorated with engraving in the form of a dotted line curled inwards at its top. Flat handle, slightly broadening towards the bottom and rounded at the end. Along the edges, the handle was decorated with a floral (leaf) motif.

According to etiquette, if one wishes to serve fish to invited guests and does not have special cutlery for this type of meat at home, dinner attendees can use two dinner forks. One fork will then be used to hold the fish and the other to fillet it (as a replacement for a special knife).
