Found some strange vintage stainless knives at the in laws' . . . Very cheap feeling and wonky profiles. Was this style fashionable at some point, maybe 1960s? Very flexible boning knives maybe? Or odd steak knives?

Very weird knives :scratchhead: have verified that these were purchased new in the 70s.
lol yeah I used them for slicing some hotdogs . . . about as much action as they're gonna see
According to my age old brain, those are what grandma used to call "Grapefruit" knives. Especially helpful after halving the grapefruit and cuttting into the sections you would insert the knife between the pith and the meat, flex and push till it rached the center and rotate either the grapefruit or "saw' with the knife all the way around until you met your original cut.
No kidding! They are very flexible so I can see how it could conform to the curve of the grapefruit. Interesting now I want to run out and buy one for breakfast to try :knife:
They do look like grapefruit knives, and I'm sure they are, although the ones I normally see have an additional curve in the blade, see...
What do you think Dave, spa treatment for these beauties? :angel2:
