B Stock New Vintage 30cm / 11.75" Ideal Chef Carbon POM Thiers, France 1970-90

New old stock unmarked 30cm / 11.75" carbon steel chef knives from the vintage vault!  These knives are unmarked, so dating is a little difficult, but they were most likely made in the the 1960's to 90's.

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. 

B Stock are the second quality among the knives from this stock, we found  imperfections in the blade straightness which might impede sharpening or use for some users, they are greatly discounted, but because of this they are also not eligible for returns. 

B Stock knives are offered as is: found, uncleaned, and unsharpened condition.
