Vintage Dansk Fjord Steak Knives - Set of Six in Original Box

$385.00

Set of six Dansk teak-handled stainless steel steak knives in the Fjord pattern, designed by Jens Quistgaard in 1954. A mid-century classic, this pattern is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. In original fitted box; five of the six have the original plastic caps on the tips of the blades. Early production made in Germany, late 1950s.

Each knife is marked Dansk Designs Germany with the larger four ducks mark, indicating earlier manufacture.

See my blog post on Dansk's Fjord and other flatware here: https://www.jenisandberg.com/blog/2012/04/gotta-dansk-fjord-flatware-by-jens.html

Overall condition is good. Very minor wear to the stainless steel. Natural variation in the color and figure of the teak handles. All plugs are present and show light wear; no separations at the handle. The box is a bit of a mess, with wear, losses, and taped corners; the lid has separated and there is fading to the red flocked interior.

This flatware is NOT safe for use in dishwashers. I recommend rubbing the wood handles with a food-safe oil once or twice a year to keep them in top form.
