A 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. 

A Stock are the best quality among the knives from this stock, we accepted small imperfections in the blade straightness which for the age is typical but rejected bends or waviness that would impede sharpening or use. 

Please note these can have small rust spots or imperfections, slight cants or waviness to the edge is possible as well. We do quality control on these but imperfections are part of the picture.

New Old Stock, Vintage and New Vintage knives do not come sharpened. Please request sharpening if desired in the order notes section of the cart page.
