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. Early production made in Germany, circa 1960.

Five knifes are marked Dansk Designs Germany with the larger four ducks mark, indicating earlier manufacture, the sixth has a slightly later Made in Germany mark.

Overall condition is good. Very minor wear to the stainless steel—the edge of one blade has a very small ding (see detail images). Natural variation in the color and figure of the teak handles. All plugs are present and show light wear; no separations at the handle.

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.
