So beautiful! 
Let me take a pic of mine tomorrow (I’ll even polish it for you!

I’ll look for my other ones. Dear God, polishing silver is not what I’ve done during the pandemic!

Here it is, Sambonet Baguette. Straight from the dishwasher, and then polished for 30 seconds or so.

Is that a butter knife? That is how I remember them when I was a kid.
If this is a fish knife, then it just means my mom has been using it wrong.
Edited.
Great, now I am convinced that my mom has always been using the so called fish knife as a butter knife.

Wow - your mom is smart! Never thought about it but yes I can actually use it as a butter knife…
I do have a special butter knife but not from this set…

They do resemble the big butter knife (Any silverware set refers to a big butter knife as a “master” butter knife - different from the small butter knifes that go with individual bread and butter plates). Of course, there are also “breakfast knives” which are different from “ luncheon knives” (which are just smaller versions of dinner knives). Ive got to go rummaging through the drawers now … Elaborate Victorian era place settings had more pieces than I have toes and fingers

Don’t encourage her. 
As I search more, I am more confused. Is there a butter knife looks like a fish knife?
The master butter knife stays with the butter dish and is used communally. It’s not part of a place setting.
Here are my Fortessa San Marco fish knife and fork, plus a Sambonet sauce spoon - used if you get a plate full of tasty sauce and you’re too shy to just lick it off the plate.

and steak knife next to it, with a normal knife on the right…
Here one can see the allure of silver(plated) flatware: the beautiful sparkling in dim lighting.

The Fortessa San Marco is available in silver plate. I’ve been in a restaurant that used it. It’s lovely. Here’s an individual butter knife on a place stetting. My fish knife and fork is in there, too.

The roundness of the butter knife is pretty much identical in shape to a classic fish knife, so a fish knife can work very well as a butter knife.
I like that they will sit flat without getting food on the table/cloth.

I’ve given up on tablecloths. Of course, I now have gouges in my glass(!) tabletop from guests dragging the troughs nearer to their seats.
It’s also easy to point the fish knives correctly.
