First designed in 1945 by Folke Arstrom, this set is from the 1950s. One can see the quality of the stainless steel material in that the knives' blades hardly show any scratches from use.
Gense was founded in 1856 by Gustaf Eriksson in Eskilstuna, Sweden. In the 1930s, stainless steel manufacturing started and was mostly used by restaurants, later by the general public.
Gense designed and produced the special flarware still used in the annual banquet for the Nobel Prize dignitaries.
