Maybe the most sought after size? 20cm 7 7/8" (aka 8") fine ground carbon steel blade Cuisine Massive / Nogent style chef knife in, unused condition. These needed a little more cleaning than some others we have recently listed but are still top shelf manufacture with a hand ground hand forged blade, a clean fit up with an aluminum ferrule (likely suggests 1950's construction) and one piece old style ink dyed beech or fruitwood wood handle.
No markings but these would have been made in Thiers or nearby Saint Remy. Some have some small residual pepperspots from a little corrosion that had started. We separated these from ones that had cracked handles or bent blades.
Nogent style knives are characterized by their one piece wood handles, with a rat tail stick tang extending to the end of the handle and a round steel or aluminum ferrule. ‘Cuisine Massive’ was used to describe the style in Thiers, as Nogent was a rival knife making city.
These knives were made in or around Theirs, France likely in the 1950‘s. They are thin and light being hand forged on an old style 'Martinet' mechanical hammer and then ground by hand on stone wheels, very similaryly to how knives were made in the 19th and early 20th century, these techniques and equipment are now long gone.
Please note these can have small rust spots or imperfections, very slight cants or waviness to the edge is possible as well. We do quality control on these but tiny 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.
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.
