French GM century-old European primeval forest MOKU pattern walnut handle sterling silver cheese knife/dessert knife Beautiful knife set, the handle is made of European virgin forest walnut. The survival conditions of primitive forest trees are harsh and the growth rate is slow. Therefore, the wood material density is higher than that of artificial forest trees. The MOKU grain (mountain grain) texture is more obvious and the variability is richer. . Most modern walnut wood products are made from artificial forest trees that have been around for decades. They grow quickly and have a lower density than the original ones. Therefore, when making and cutting plates, try to cut MASA grains (straight grains) to make products, because MASA is based on diameter. The material is cut, so it has better hardness than MOKU and is less likely to crack, but the texture is relatively monotonous. Because this set of knives was made a hundred years ago during the Art Nouveau period, it uses the MOKO pattern of virgin forest trees. It has high density and obvious texture. It has not cracked after hundreds of years. The texture is not the same on each knife. Each one is unique. The blade is made of sterling silver with the French sterling silver Minerva mark on it and the brand GM mark on the back. It is a great set of tableware and is worth collecting.
