Vintage K Sabatier carbon steel 9" cuisine massive chef / AKA Nogent style knife with carbon steel blade and brased iron and ebony handle.  

This was originally a larger knife and had been sharpened irregularly; we re-profiled and re-ground it to have a 9" blade with a more typical French profile and a good thin convex grind for smooth cutting. 

The blade had seen some rust, leaving shallow pits, some are still visible, some of the original K Sabatier marking has been lost but enough remains to leave no doubt about its origin.

  • This is a reactive carbon steel knife.
  • Hand wash and towel dry after use. Do not air dry or place in the dishwasher.
  • Expect oxidation (color change, staining, spotting) with use.
  • Prolonged exposure to moisture or food debris will cause rust; remove any rust with a light abrasive.
  • Use only on a quality wooden cutting board.
  • Do not use on hard surfaces like bamboo or plates.
  • Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium - Western Carbon

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to around 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
