What Is Silverware & Flatware?
Silverware and flatware refer to eating utensils such as forks, spoons, knives, and serving pieces. While many modern utensils are silver-plated, sterling silver flatware contains a high percentage of real silver and can be valuable based on its metal content.
Sterling silver is typically marked .925, “Sterling,” or “925,” meaning it contains 92.5% pure silver. Even mismatched sets or worn pieces can still be worth money.

Weight
Sterling silver flatware is weighed to determine its silver content. Knives are evaluated carefully, as many contain stainless steel blades with sterling handles.
