New old stock unmarked 35cm / 13.75" carbon steel chef knives from the vintage bin! These knives are unmarked so dating is a little difficult but the were most likely made in the 1960s to 90s.

They were hand forged after being drop forged and hand ground on water stones in the old Thiers style. This lends to giving them a great geometry, making them nimble where they need to be and tough in the heel. These are the quintessential post war French chef knife.

A Stock are the best quality among the knives from this stock, we accepted small imperfections in the blade straightness which for the age is typical but rejected bends or waviness that would impede sharpening or use.

Please note these can have small rust spots or imperfections, slight cants or waviness to the edge is possible as well. We do quality control on these but imperfections are part of the picture.

New Old Stock, Vintage and New Old Stock knives do not come sharpened. Please request sharpening if desired in the order notes section of the cart page.
