    Hello again
    This was from our grandmother in Switzerland but am honestly not sure what it is for. My initial thought was cake knife but have now seen paper knives which appear similar
    ? Age maker and use. As always thank you D3E51FB5-13A7-4D0D-B563-FFF4E359A902.jpeg 13E8EAEE-31EB-4943-80BA-AF6A3A46959D.jpeg BE4BB5E7-8924-4476-A504-D55615C581BC.jpeg 669767FF-F713-444B-BA3F-053FDF4CF3F2.jpeg 0C012CFB-7496-44F7-85CD-7B0E427B34D4.jpeg 83F241C9-0AC2-45E5-8A4E-77BB4D0D2362.jpeg

    Bob has it right - a cake knife.

    We are going to need a better look at the marking. May be upside down.

    I never would have guessed a cake knife. I have never seen anything like that before. It is lovely. Glad better experts came along with info.

    I've seen cake knives like that. Usually for very soft delicate gateaux types, with much cream.

    Swiss 0.800 by Jezler, most likely late 19th-early 20th century - no length given, but looks like a cake knife to me...
