<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 106874, member: 37"]This carving set is only marked <i>2nd</i> on the handle and stainless steel on the knife blade. I assume this means they are second quality rejects? I can see no obvious flaws to them. I found a couple examples very similar but not exact that are marked <i>sterling handle</i> so I assume mine are also sterling. Are my assumptions correct? Any idea of maker or pattern? Would the guards also be sterling if the handles are? The guards are not magnetic.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]26946[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]26947[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]26948[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A different pair from ebay completed listings.
