New old stock unmarked 31cm / 12" 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 1980's being that the 23cm do not have a tapered tang and the 31cm do; the largest chef knives were the last to be hand forged after drop forging in the early 90's.
They were hand forged after being drop forged and hand ground 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 design with integral bolster / ferrule first developed in the 1920's but really taking off in the 1950's and 60's.
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 are possible as well. We do strict quality control on these but small imperfections are part of the picture on knives of this era.
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.

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.
