If it is a conversation, you can hold a knife and fork, no need to put down, but if you need to make a gesture, you should put down the knife and fork, do not swing the knife and fork in the air. It should be noted that at any time, one end of the knife and fork should not be placed on the disc and the other end placed on the table.

When attending a wedding dinner, no matter how the tableware is placed in the “meal” position, as long as the main guests finish the meal, they should immediately put away all the dishes. Therefore, at the banquet, remember to focus on the main guests.
In the banquet, each dish is eaten with a pair of knives and forks, and the knives and forks placed in front of them are taken inward from the outside. The knife and fork are used up, and the serving is over. When you need to talk or rest in the middle, you should put the knife and fork in a figure-eight flat on both sides of the plate. Conversely, the knife handles are placed side by side on the plate, indicating that the dish has been used and the waiter will remove the plate. For the starter or the dessert, if it is a dish that can be eaten directly with a fork, it is not necessary to use the knife deliberately.

The knife that has never been used can be placed on the table, and the waiter will automatically take it away.
