Hi,
Spoons were discussed here.
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=29732&p=137783&hilit=Christian+Rasmussen#p137783

Knife of this size (``big``) without a fork is practically useless unless meant for cutting bread.

Thank you for answer. I do not ask about baptist spoon but about another big one :) Is it also baptist spoon. How is it possible to cut bread with silver blade.. its impossible. May be it si a kind of serving fish knife?

Right,with the fork in the set.
We can only speculate about the larger spoon.Possibly serving spoon rather than baptism spoon.
