Know before you buy
HH stands for 'Hollow Handle.' This construction method allows the knife to have a substantial, balanced feel in the hand while maintaining the intricate detailing characteristic of the Old Master pattern.
Yes, the handle is crafted from high-quality sterling silver. As with most traditional dinner knives, the blade is typically made of stainless steel to ensure it remains sharp and resistant to corrosion while maintaining the aesthetic of the sterling handle.
To maintain the shine, hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. We recommend using a high-quality silver polish occasionally to remove tarnish and restore its original luster.
While the Old Master collection is elegant enough for formal events, it is designed to be durable for everyday use. Sterling silver develops a unique patina over time, which many collectors find adds character to pieces used regularly.
The Old Master pattern features a distinct Early Victorian aesthetic with ornate detailing. It is best paired with other pieces from the Towle Old Master collection, though its classic silhouette can complement other traditional or antique-inspired silverware sets.
