1950s/60s 'Sabinox' stainless chef knife made for teh Forschner company with old style hand forged after drop forged balde with a cleaver like heavy heel and a thin tip for vegetables modeled after the old hand forged 19th century chef knives. 

Blade has been sharpened in very little and is free from damage, blade is nice and straight. Handle has a few tight hairline cracks as this old composite is prone to, it is secure and should not be an issue.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

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.
