READ IMPORTANT DELIVERY OPTION INFORMATION

Joseph Rodgers & Sons 11" carbon steel slicer with a US patent date of Feb 16th 1886 but without "England" as would be required for import to the US post 1891 tariff laws. 

Blade is a flat forged construction with a rectangular stick tang, blade has been thinned and set on a vintage English or American stag handle with a later 1960s German steel ferrule, a good fit but a little historically inaccurate. 

Blade has some pits but is still full, this is an uncommon knife from Joseph Rodgers, regarded as one of Sheffield's finest makers and a very collected name.

  • This is a reactive carbon steel knife.
  • Hand wash and towel dry after use. Do not air dry or place in the dishwasher.
  • Expect oxidation (color change, staining, spotting) with use.
  • Prolonged exposure to moisture or food debris will cause rust; remove any rust with a light abrasive.
  • Use only on a quality wooden cutting board.
  • Do not use on hard surfaces like bamboo or plates.
  • Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium - Western Carbon

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to around 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
