Vintage Unmarked 10" Bullnose Scimitar Hand Forged Carbon 1920?

Vintage Unmarked 10" Bullnose Scimitar Hand Forged Carbon 1920?

Unmarked but nicely made hand forged carbon steel and 5 pin beech handled 10" bullnose scimitar, most likely made in the USA around the 1920s, could be older or a little younger, the hand forging of these type work knives didn't go into mid century it seems.

Blade has fresh edge (steel felt nice and crisp, not too soft) and the handle is free from gaps, cracks or rot. No funky odors, smells like a crayon actually.  If you are a professional butcher this smell will not last but you will be too happy with the knife to notice.

These are great for slicing chops and steaks and blocking off work at the begining of breaking. The curved spine and edge gives it a little more bit that a straight bullnose which focuses the work on the curved tip. The spine is curved hence bullnose scimitar, a straight spine would be just bullnose.
