The silver plated dinner knife in the Rubans pattern has a steel blade to better resist wear and tear and to increase quality of slice. Ideal for salads and soft food. Created in 1907, Rubans is a feminine Louis XVI-style pattern. The line’s trademarks — graceful symmetrical ornamentation, crisscrossed ribbons and adorable bows — summon feelings of childhood contentment and joy while simultaneously maintaining elegance.
