NITHER form is correct. Most

OF putting the knife down after

ferring the fork to the right

seems to me full of unnecessary
motions. Personally 1 prefer the
continental fashion of keeping the
knife in the right hand and the
fork in the left. During the "rest.

the fork are put on the plate.
The knife is never put 'along
