Vintage Household Cutlery and Steak Knife Sets with Faux Wood Handles

This collection consists of multiple sets of vintage cutlery, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The assortment includes a four-piece steak knife set, a two-piece carving or utility set, a large multi-piece specialty set containing various knives and a server, and a two-piece set featuring a serving fork. The blades appear to be made of stainless steel with many featuring serrated edges. A distinguishing feature is the handle design: dark wood-grain composite or plastic resin paired with cream-colored bolsters/collars, accented by a decorative silver-toned floral or wheat motif inlay. The construction utilizes flat tangs with metal collars. The items are housed in their original, though heavily worn, cardboard display boxes with die-cut inserts. Visible condition issues include significant oxidation and spotting on many of the metal blades, suggesting these are not high-carbon rust-resistant steel. The cardboard packaging is yellowed, torn, and shows moisture damage, which has likely contributed to the corrosion on the metal components. One box still retains a vintage price sticker of $8.95, a common indicator of mass-market retail production from the era. These sets represent mid-range consumer-grade kitchenware of the mid-century modern period, designed to mimic luxury materials like rosewood and ivory.
