    Honestly, I got nothing. In German, we would say Besteck or Tafelsliber.

      Silverware (Tafelsilber : banquet/table silver) exists.

      Besteck used to mean sheath, bestecken could be translated as to decorate with, stecken is to put into.

      I could see the Swedish being translated as stabbers

      skriva: to write
      beskriva: to describe

      sticka: to stab
      bestick: stab-related noun?

        Made from high grade aluminum. Says made in China in it so you know it’s genuine.

    Germans use a fork and knife for everything. Pizza: fork and knife. Burger: fork and knife. Yogurt: fork and knife. Jewish souls: fork and knife.
