| has gloss | (noun) a small knife with a dull blade; for cutting or spreading butter butter knife |
| has gloss | eng: In common usage, a butter knife may not refer to any table knife designed with a dull edge and rounded point; instead, a butter knife may only refer to the kitchen knives that are straight, not bent and not too sharp. Formal flatware patterns make a distinction between such a place knife (or table knife) and a butter knife. In this usage, a butter knife (or master butter knife) is a sharp-pointed, dull edged knife, often with a sabre shape, used only to serve out pats of butter from a central butter dish to individual diners' plates. Master butter knives are not used to spread the butter onto bread: this would contaminate the butter remaining in the butter dish when the next pat of butter was served. Rather, diners at the breakfast, the luncheon, and the informal dinner table use an individual butter knife to apply butter to their bread. |
