While Astra Classic and Astra Black rely on the dark contrast of niello, this version takes a different approach: the handle is extensively gold-plated, and the floral ornament is engraved directly into the gold without any additional dark inlay. The result is a consistently bright, warm aesthetic where the delicate flower and leaf lines are revealed solely through the depth of the engraving. For those who do not care for the contrast of niello but still appreciate ornate handle engraving, this is the quieter alternative within the Astra collection.

Material and Craftsmanship

The handle is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated. The floral motif is hand-engraved onto this gold surface—without the dark alloy usually found in niello work. The blade is crafted from stainless steel, ensuring cutting performance and durability for everyday use. The knife is hallmarked.

Usage and Occasions

This version suits a table setting kept entirely in gold and light tones, without dark pattern accents. It is suitable for festive occasions as well as refined everyday use, for example as a gift for lovers of simple, light elegance or as a complement to existing gold-colored silverware. A complete set can be put together in combination with spoons, forks, or dessert cutlery from the same line.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

In addition to the existing hand-engraved floral motif, further discreet personalization in the handle area—such as in the lower section or on the back—may be possible upon review. On request, we include a digitally designed, photo-sized 15 x 10 cm SilberVerse card, free of charge—a special detail that adds a personal touch to the gift.

Care

Clean the knife by hand; do not use a dishwasher. Wipe dry with a soft cloth to ensure the gold-plated surface and engraving retain their luster. Regular care with a silver polishing cloth will keep the handle looking attractive long-term without damaging the fine engraved lines.
