Someone got a very large knife back in the 60s and didn't use it much. In keeping with the production techniques of its day for high-quality knives, it was drop-forged, then hand-forged and hand-ground. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK Sabatier Jeune was an offshoot of the original K Sabatier company; at the time of the split, there were two brothers running the company, and the younger one left to form K Sabatier Jeune (younger). Their reputation as a top-shelf maker in Thiers is well deserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife had a few small cracks on one scale, which have been sealed with epoxy; the fruit wood scales have shrunk a little, but nothing too terrible. All is secure now \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating this knife is a little tricky as the Jeune stamp didn't change much over the decades but the slightly wider bolster in the heel suggest 1960s manufacture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Ideal pattern was developed in the early 1920s in the Thiers area by blending the full-tang, thin-bolstered Canadian pattern with the form of the round ferruled cuisine massive 'Nogent style' and quickly became a popular design produced not just by Thiers makers but by knife makers outside of France in Germany and Britain as well as the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"box of old knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182219604189,"sku":"VIN1411","price":344.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC04512_2d261b81-cd36-4a83-a459-ba85c93f84aa.jpg?v=1784248794","url":"https:\/\/bernalcutlery.com\/en-de\/products\/k-sabatier-jeune-13-chef-knife-ideal-pattern-carbon-steel-thiers-1960s","provider":"Bernal Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
