Vintage F Dick carbon steel cleaver made in Germany in the 1950s or 60s. It’s seen some hard work but still has a lot left in it. 

Blade has been hammered on spine but not ground down very much, the original sticker was just hanging on but needed to come off for a light rust cleaning. Beech handle is free from defect and is nice and secure.

7” cutting edge, just over 4 1/2” wide at widest point of blade 28.6 oz

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
