Wide slicer (originally a narrow chef knife?) made by the great Lamson & Goodnow company of Shelburne Falls Massachusetts with a distinctly New England design seen in the folded steel bolster pinned over the handle scales to prevent spreading and damage to the handle with use and washing. 

This knife has some shallow pitting and was originally wider, it is likely that it was a narrow chef knife made in an affordable series, while the bolster is applied the blade is a forged construction as can be seen from the taper along the tang, it is fairly thin and light but is nice and stiff. 

Silas Lamson began making scythe handles in Sterling Mass in the early 1800s he moved to Shelburne Mass in 1837 and joined with Ebenezer Goodnow to form Lamson-Goodnow Company in 1842 and changed to Lamson & Goodnow MFG Co in 1853.

10" edge, 15.3" overall and 5.35 oz

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.
