Sabatier Thiers Issard 4 Star Elephant Canadian pattern 10" slicer with carbon steel blade, and aluminum riveted POM handle. This knife was hand forged after being drop forged it appears by the slightly tapering tang, blade is very with small amount of flex.

Blade is very full, no wiggle or cracks in handle. Blade has very slight cant to the left on tip, but is minimal. It shows use and wear with some a few pits and dings to handle but otherwise its good to get back to work with a fresh edge. 

9.8" cutting edge. 14.5" overall length 4.7 oz

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.
