Some of the most noticeable differences between Towle's Magnum and the original Magnum from Norway.
  • The fork shown on the top is by Towle.
  • The fork shown on the bottom is by Norstaal
  • Tines are fairly straight
  • Tines have a pronounced curvature

 
  • The knife shown on the top is by Towle.
  • The knife shown on the bottom is by Norstaal.
  • No serration's
  • Has a finely serrated edge and a very sharp blade. Some older Norwegian Magnum knives are not serrated..

 
  • The soup spoon shown on the top is by Towle.
  • The soup spoon shown on the bottom is by Norstaal
  • The spoon bowl has a slight tear drop shape - it is not quite as round as the Norwegian Magnum
  • The spoon bowl has a much rounder appearance. It is hard to show, but there is more of a curvature in the handle than you will find in the Towle spoon.
