Allen McDuffeeVerified account @AllenMcDuffeeReplying to @mccannerThis is a dinner knife. But the variations in other butter knives have to do with how the butter is being presented. For example, a stick of butter requires one kind of butter knife, while a butter bell crock requires another (like the small curved one you've shown).3 replies 21 retweets 470 likesShow this thread -

Iain Collins @iaincollinsReplying to @mccannerIt's totally a typical butter knife! My parents have multiple sets of silverware like that (from 1800-1900). Most modern cutlery sets don't understand soup spoons or dessert spoons either (both should be circular, not oval) and it's tragically lost knowledge.10 replies 33 retweets 841 likesShow this thread -

Megan CarpentierVerified account @megancarpentierReplying to @mccanner @iaincollinsHilariously, I own two butter knives, one that I inherited from my grandparents and the other of which... came with a cheese serving board I got as a gift. As a Gen X heathen, I have used them both as serving utensils for roasted garlic cloves.9 replies 6 retweets 164 likesShow this thread -
Thank you all for playing along. Tomorrow, we will discuss the salad spinner and Gen X's apparent affinity for it.pic.twitter.com/s3aJsAvCUc
