Beautiful old hand forged after drop forged semi flexible 14" round nosed roast beef slicer with 6 pin ebony handle from the heyday of American knife making.

Definitley American and most likely from LF&C of New Britain Ct. The square shouldered bolster is very much their style. 

Blade has been sharpened in some and looks to have been thinned a bit a while back. It was done well and there are no heavy marks. Handle has had a hole drilled through for hanging and there is some wear on the handle but all in keeping with its overall level of use. 

These are great for taking thin slices from large cuts, you will not run out of blade mid stroke with this one. 

13.5" cutting edge
19.75" overall
8.5 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.
