Honestly, I got nothing. In German, we would say Besteck or Tafelsliber.
It's not that food weapon is close to the German word but it's the description this German guy came up with.
Silverware (Tafelsilber : banquet/table silver) exists.
Besteck used to mean sheath, bestecken could be translated as to decorate with, stecken is to put into.
TIL
Tafelsilber is silber tho.
I could see the Swedish being translated as stabbers
skriva: to write
beskriva: to describe
sticka: to stab
bestick: stab-related noun?
