Does any one remember the trade of Knife wiping in which all knives, forks and spoons had to be laid out on the table prior to each meal and specifically wiped clean with a most unsavoury looking cloth ?

'Knives' just laid out the places from a large box of kfs. Lucky boys got a fork with four whole, straight prongs.
