Stainless steel blades and "bone" handles (actually celluloid, as these date from 1930s-60s). There are seven of these English dinner knives, all the same blade, handle and ferrule shape. However, 5 of the knives are by George Butler & Co, Sheffield, and the other two are R.Wenborn, Cutlers, Oxford. There is a difference of 1 cm between the length of the Butler knives and the Wenborn knives, but believe me, you won't notice this when they are laid out on a dining table. Knives are 24.5 cm long and 23.5 cm long. All are in good sound condition. Some minor scuffing to the stainless steel, commensurate with just light use. Look upon this as a set of 6 knives with one spare.
