Unused vintage (70s - 80s?) Thiers Issard two handed cheese knife with plastic handles and stainless blade measuring 11" between the handles.

Handles are of the economy variety but the blade is hand ground with a little convexity, great for food release. 

22.5" overall length 16.2 oz 

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.
