Refurbished 10" Ideal pattern chef knife made in France (most likely Thiers) in the 1960s or 70s with carbon steel blade, walnut or fruitwood handle and brass rivets. 

This is a nice quality hand forged after drop forged blade that had been sharpened in a bit and required a thinning, it has been refurbished and is ready to get to work. The handle has some cracks which might need replacing at some point in the not too terribly distant future, but this knife has lots of life left in it.

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.
