J. A. Henckels 213-12” flexible slicer made in the post war era of solid wood handled hand ground after initial drop forging (no secondary hand forging on this era) with nickel (aluminum comes later) riveted walnut handle. 

This knife is in excellent used condition, it has not been sharpened too much it has seen no abusive treatment, wood handle is free of cracks or issues, the only condition related items that should be mentioned are some pits from some heavier rust this knife saw at one point and a slight cant to the right at the tip as the blade is held away from the user. 

12” cutting edge, 17” overall 4 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.
