A re-imagined old hand forged after drop forged slicer with 6 pin ebony handle from the heyday of American knife making. This was originally a much longer knives (12"?) but had been cut down to 8" with a carving knife shaped tip. It has been thinned here at Bernal Cutlery to give the blade more finesse as it was a bit thick behind the edge. It is also freshly sharpened and ready to get to work.

Handle has a couple of stable cracks and definitly shows sear and use. It is still a handsome old knife and possibly more useful to more people in its shorter iteration here. 

Definitley American and most likely from LF&C of New Britain Ct. The square shouldered bolster is very much their style. 

8" cutting edge
13.5" overall

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.
