Fully hallmarked including maker''s mark AK.
Originally for sardines, it is also great for serving meat or cheese, seafood or pickles.

A lovely fork to use or to give as a gift for those who love to eat or serve sardines or any of the other foods listed.
Although one photo shows two forks, this listing and pricing is for one fork only.
It will be the talking point of the bar or dining table.
