A dinner knife in what Spratling's catalogues called the Heavy Disc pattern carries three applied silver discs on its handle above a stainless blade. The applied disc was one of the workshop's signature devices, used across holloware and flatware alike, and here it gives a functional eating knife the Spratling identity while the stainless blade keeps it practical for the table.
The pattern name comes from the catalogues themselves, placing the knife within a coordinated flatware line rather than treating it as a one-off.
The design has been reissued, so collectors weigh period of manufacture when comparing examples. A documented pattern with its own catalogue name, the Heavy Disc knife is a clear instance of Spratling extending a jewelry-scale motif onto the dinner table.
