La Trompette 12" slicer made with hand forged carbon steel, ebony and brass pins made between 1920 and 1940 as seen from the M Pouzet mark. 

La Trompette was an important 19th and early 20th century Thiers brand which exported a lot outside of France early on. 

This style of knife is usually more American or British but there was of course lots of crossover in design as popular designs were picked up by savvy makers outside their place of origin. 

Blade has seen some rust leaving some pits and has been sharpened in a bit, the handle is nice and secure though and the knife is ready to get back to work. 


12" edge, 18" overall and weighs 6.5 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.
