New Old Stock 20.5cm / 8" Slicer Stainless Steel Palissander Thiers, France 1960s

Unmarked stainless steel 8" slicer with beautiful deep colored palissander with brass cutlers riveted handle in unused condition made most likely in the 1960s.

This knife was made in Theirs, France and found in a lot of knives dating from the 1930s to 90s but judging from the materials and work this is most likely from the 1960s. The machine made compression or cutlers rivets come on the scene in the 60s but the straight non-birdshead pommel handle shape is an older style. 

These represent the more recent iteration of the flat plate or plate-semelle knife, originally forged without a bolster and handled economically, these were stamped but are hand ground finished after mechanically ground.

Tough and hardworking these will be fine getting up near bones.
