New Vintage hand forged carbon steel butcher's abattre chopping chef knife, unused fresh from storage. These would have been used for chopping where a cleaver was too heavy but not on such tough work to require a saw. While these were certainly not high status knives in their day they have a beautiful taper throughout the tang and along the length of the blade along with a 1/2 S grind, a great example of old Thiers hand forging and grinding. 

While it is hard to pin point the exact years these were made the hand forged blades with the steel and brass rosette rivets suggests 1950s manufacture. 


Please note, B Stock knives are sold as is and not sharpened or refurbished.

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.
