Materials Metal: Silver
Description Hand forged single-edged cake knife with slightly convex cutting edge whose width expands toward distal end and whose back edge is terraced as it curves downward at distal end; Solid silver handle curves gracefully toward proximal end where it curves around in J-shape; Pair of parallel lines is stamped along upper edge of handle on both faces, following the contours of the handle; Knife is unsigned.

Kay Begay Rogers (April 2015) affirmed that this knife looks like her father’s work, and thought that it possibly had a knife stand with it, and if so, the stand might have been stamped with the appropriate hallmarks.
