Unmarked carbon steel 6" stiff utility knife (aka office knife) with rosewood with brass cutlers riveted handle in unused condition made somewhere from the 1960s to 90s.

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 from approximately the 1960s to 90s. The machine made compression or cutlers rivets come on the scene in the 60s. 

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 look hand ground finished after mechanically ground. 

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

Not stainless! No dishwasher or soaking.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon 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.

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.
