·I'm sure we have people much more fluent than me on the forum, but I will try to brush off my very rusty memory of Hebrew.
The front says Jerusalem in Hebrew. Probably a souvenir piece of some sort. On the handle appears to be the mark of the manufacturer, would probably be pronounced "Prinzental" or something like that. I'm not familiar with it.

·Hi,
I read the forum, but don't post often. I'm not a fluent speaker, but I can try to help with this. First, the word on the front is indeed 'Jerusalem'. The mark on the underside is also what Dan S thought, the name of a manufacturer. Because it's not voweled, it's hard to know exactly how to pronounce the name. I found a short write up on an Israeli website, the Egozi Gallery: http://www.egozigallery.com/אמן-מספר-1120 I'll try to translate the Hebrew there:
"The Prinzental company was a manufacturer of silver and silver-plate articles, mainly cutlery, which was founded in Warsaw in Poland but moved in its entirety to Israel. The owner of the company was Yizhak [Isaac] Prinzental and it was set up in the Montefiore neighbourhood of Tel Aviv."

·Ah, here's an image of their packaging, showing how they wrote their name in English:
If you want to try to find more images, you can search for this text, which is the company name in Hebrew: פרינצנטל
