 Sabatier Professional 25cm / 10" stainless steel chef knife from approx the 1960s to 1970s. This was hand forged after being drop forged 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. 

Blade is very full, it has been sharpened in very little, it did have a kinked tip which has been corrected but it lost a little length in in the process. 

 

9.75" cutting edge length, 14.25" overall length, 8.9 oz

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. 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.
