The handle, crafted from fine silver, showcases intricate relief designs that depict a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia from 1888 to 1918.

The ivory paper knife not only serves as a functional tool but also as a testament to the rich history and symbolism of the German Empire during the WWI era. This piece, with its intricate design and historical significance, is a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the artistry and history of the past. This ivory paper knife is a unique and intriguing addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the history and symbolism of the German Empire during the WWI era.
