Vintage Ed Wusthof Dreizackwerk 182-10 10" Narrow Slicer Carbon Transitional 1960-80

Vintage carbon steel Wusthof narrow semi flexible 10" slicer made at the end of their production of solid wood handled carbon steel knives. This one has the old carbon steel and solid wood handle but with the newer widening bolster design of the following 70s stainless knives. This is the very end of the long run of carbon steel Wusthof in regular production. 

Blade has been sharpened in a bit but not too heavily, handle is nice and secure and aluminum rivets are not corroded from mistreatment but there are a few dings on the wood. Blade has a bend at the bolster but the edge is essentially straight

Finding older carbon steel Wusthof knives is very rare, it wasn't until the mid to late 70s and 80s that they really began to export a lot of knives to the United States and those all stainless.
