An interesting knife here from the mid 19th century that shows how the serrated bread knife of today that has been codified as the norm has not always been. This round nosed slicer does not have the usual German influence of the Hamburg style knife (sheepsfoot tip with two humps on back)  that has become a standard. 

Forged carbon steel with Lamson patented applied pressed steel bolster and rosewood handle. It had seen a little rust but no abuse, an uncommon knife here and a great part of the somewhat messy bread knife story

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.
