Where can I buy toddler cutlery that includes a knife that actually cuts food?

DS1 is 3.3 and wants to use a knife and fork to eat, our usual cutlery is too big and clumsy for him but the metal toddler cutlery I have (mothercare) has a very blunt knife and the fork isn't very sharp either - now I know this is for obvious reasons but is there anywhere I can buy cutlery for an older toddler who is not quite ready for the adult stuff! TIA

Ikea do dessert knives and forks in packs of 6, for about £3 - £4 per pack. It's about 3/4 of the size of usual cutlery and works a treat for my DS.

I second getting dessert cutlery - only stuff I've ever found that actually cut normally. I got mine from a WMF shop in Germany, but I would think that any reasonably sized department store etc. will sell dessert cutlery.

Our ds's went straight to full size cutlery and refused to use 'baby stuff'!

Its too big and clumsy for them but they manage. We just make sure they don't have steak knives
