Pate Knife and Fork
This pewter knife and fork set is part of Corrine Hunt's Sea to Sky Collection. The stylized handles have varying depths of relief. Corrine likens her work to poetry, where a few simple lines can evoke a rich sense of place. The 6½ inch pate knife has a handle perpendicular to the blade, allowing you to easily rest the knife on the edge of the pate dish or cheese board. The pickle fork is 5¾ inches long. The handles are made of lead-free pewter while the blade and tongs are stainless steel. Wash by hand with mild soap and water. Never place in dishwasher as the detergents are too corrosive. Made in Canada.

Boma Pewter
The basic element of pewter is tin. Tin is too soft to be used on its own, so is tempered with small amounts of copper and antimony to create pewter.
Pewter neither rusts as iron does nor tarnishes like silver. It is a metal which easily adapts to the making of household and ornamental articles. Pewter has been widely used by man for many thousands of years.
Care: Pewter, being a delicate metal is not meant to be exposed to hear or harsh materials. Treat your pewter with care by hand washing with mild soap instead of using a dishwasher.
