Where Astra Classic and Astra Black opt for the dark contrast of niello, this variant takes a different approach: the handle is extensively gilded, and the floral ornament is engraved directly into the gold, without an additional dark inlay. The result is a consistently bright, warm overall look, where the delicate floral and leaf lines become visible solely through the engraving depth. For those who dislike the contrast of niello but still appreciate intricate engraving on the handle, this is the quieter alternative within the Astra collection.

Material and Workmanship

The handle is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is fully gilded. The floral motif is hand-engraved onto this golden surface — without the dark alloy in the lines typically used with niello. The blade is made of stainless steel, ensuring cutting performance and durability in everyday use. A hallmark confirms the silver content of the handle.

Usage and Occasions

This variant suits a table setting that is consistently in gold and light tones, without dark pattern accents. It is suitable for festive occasions as well as for upscale everyday use, for example as a gift for lovers of simple, bright elegance or as an addition to existing gold-colored silverware. In combination with spoons, forks, or dessert cutlery from the same line, a consistent set can be assembled.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

In addition to the existing floral hand engraving, an additional, discreet personalization in the handle area is possible upon request, for example in the lower part or on the back. With every engraving, we include a digitally designed SilberVerse card in photo format 15 x 10 cm — currently free of charge and a special detail that gives the gift a personal touch.

Care

Clean the knife by hand, no dishwasher. Wipe dry with a soft cloth to maintain the shine of the gilded surface and engraving. Regular care with a silver cloth keeps the handle looking good permanently, without damaging the fine engraving lines.
