Set of 8 silver knives - butter spreaders made of sterling silver in America by the Wallace silver company (founded in 1833). The knives are richly ornamented in the Lucerne pattern, which was used from 1896.
In this usage, a butter knife (or master butter knife) is a sharp-pointed, dull-edged knife, often with a sabre shape, used only to serve out pats of butter from a central butter dish to individual diners' plates. Master butter knives are not used to spread the butter onto bread: this would contaminate the butter remaining in the butter dish when the next pat of butter was served. Rather, diners at the breakfast, the luncheon, and the informal dinner table use an individual butter knife to apply butter to their bread.
