New old stock unmarked 23cm / 9" 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 1960s or 70s as it has a tapered tang but was found with other 23cm without tapered tangs (70s or 80s?) and the 31cm that do have a tapered tang; 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.

Please request sharpening if desired, they are not sharp now.
