Forged carbon steel slicer made in Eskilstuna Sweden with  ebony handle and cast pewter alloy ferrule.

The blade had been sharpened in and needed a thinning, it has been brought back to its original geometry and is ready for work as a slicer and has just enough clearance in heel to be used as a narrow chef knife

This knife has a very distinctive Swedish design to it using a cast pewter to set the tang in the handle forming a ferrule in the process. The overall design draws on the old French Cuisine Massive (AKA Nogent) style but the handle shape with its short birdshead and flared center is definitley Swedish.

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.
