Vintage Sibella 13.5" noodle knife most likely made in Northern Italy. Blade is a hand forged hand ground carbon steel and the cherry wood handle is pinned. This knife has been used and resharpened. 

This are part of a batch vintage Italian knives we have found and are very unusual to come by, these were not exported to the United States very much and show up used hardly ever. I can count on one hand the amount of vintage Italian knives of this era I have found in 20 years of dealing in vintage knives. 

This is a great example of the historic small industry knife making from several small towns in Northern Italy. Similar to French knives of this basic construction they were made to be affordable work knives in their day, little vanity was paid to finish but they have a lot of charm. 

Blade is 13.5x2" and the overall length 18.5" and around 7.5 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 dried immediately 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.

Twisting, scraping, and heavy use, as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. 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 Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
