Featured Silver knives

Hello, it's me again...

I am just wondering if anyone knows what these knives are for. Yet again I am not able to find these anywhere online.
Their length is approx. 14 cm (5.5 inches).

Thank youuuu!

 

At 5.5 inches I would consider butter knives.

 

I agree, size and shape are butter knives imo. Norwegian?

 

They're Cypriot, likely made in Lefkara, the 'S800' mark usually appears on pieces from around the mid 20th century, later production more typically '830', though '925' sometimes used. The knives don't show up much, spoons and forks more common - sometimes hung from a filigree fruit/dessert basket. Would guess butter or another spread, or perhaps to cut fruit or dessert into a smaller bite size - here is a site with a very small pic showing spoons, forks, and knives:

I was going to say butter knives as my parents had similar shaped ones in their silver ware from their engagement party. They were never placed on the table during holidays. Well maybe just at Passover.

 

I agree - butter-knives. They look too short for fish-knives.
