Gingko International's Lafayette Dinner Knife is Solid 13 Chrome steel forged and tempered with a finely serrated blade and measures 9.5″ long. Designed by Wes Helmick. In the 15th and 16th century in the colonial period, the silver tableware was made from silver coins, since our country did not have any silver mines at this time. The coins were melted down, shaped, and hammered to their final form. Lafayette is a beautiful rendition of the hand hammered flatware of the colonial period. If a rustic, hammered look is what you’re going for, look no further than Lafayette style flatware by Ginkgo! Lafayette’s handle is bell-shaped. Stainless steel is extremely easy to care for!
