The domed knife is for buttering, the smaller pair of knives and forks is for appetizers or fish, and the larger pair of knives and forks is for meat entrees. Meals are taken in order, but sometimes you will encounter different pieces of cutlery on the left and right, that means the outermost extra piece of cutlery is used separately.
