A charming vintage grapefruit knife featuring a hand-carved wooden treen handle inscribed “SHANKLIN”, likely purchased as a souvenir from the popular seaside town on the Isle of Wight.

The stainless steel blade is marked “Grape Fruit Knife Stainless Steel” and has the classic curved, serrated form designed for separating grapefruit segments from the rind. The carved handle gives the piece wonderful folk-art character, making it equally appealing to collectors of treen, kitchenalia, seaside memorabilia, and vintage domestic antiques.

A decorative and practical piece of mid-century craftsmanship with attractive age-related patina.
