These hollow handled knives have the blades attached with a material that with enough age or by seeing the inside of a dishwasher or even if the water in the sink is too hot it can dry out and that may be what is causing the ''rattle'' for lack of a better word. Since it was in the garden, perhaps this was someone's garden knife? It has been redesigned, I use that word when my dogs get at a pair of shoes or a gloves here. Some one has butchered the blade perhaps to use it as a tool to divide perennials? It was once a member of someone's dinner service. You can try and id the pattern. Try http://silverpattern.com They have great images and a pretty comprehensive list of patterns in both silver and silverplated patterns.
