Western Cutlery, knives, forks and spoons have a long history of development and are indispensable items in people’s daily lives.

Speaking of the development history of cutlery, before the 13th century, people still used their fingers to eat. The clergy at that time believed that using fingers to touch the food given by God was a sign of respect for God. Later, forks, knives, and spoons gradually evolved into symbols of identity, status, and luxury, becoming essential cutlery.

The blade of the knife should always face the plate. There should be no more than three types of cutlery on the table. If there are more, they can be placed before the fourth course. Dessert spoons and dessert forks can be placed when the dessert is served.

When eating Western food, people usually hold the knife with their right hand and the fork with their left hand (if it is inconvenient to hold the fork with their left hand, they can also use their right hand). During a meal, if you need to leave the table for something, it is advisable to place the knife and fork in an eight-shaped shape and hang them on the plate.

Later, the appearance of the knife is beautified and polished, the pattern of the handle is pressed out, the burrs on the surface are ground and polished to achieve a mirror effect, and then grinding the teeth, polishing and burring.
