Sabatier Aux 2 Lions Paris 12" Round Tip Slicer Carbon Steel Nogent Style / Cuisine Massif Nickel Rosewood Handle

Unusual cuisine massif AKA Nogent style Sabatier 2 lions with a hand forged, hand ground carbon steel blade, nickel ferrule, and dark rosewood handle. 

Typically 2 Lions Sabatier are an inexpensive stamped stainless or carbon blade with a cast aluminum handle and plastic scales. This one has all the feel of a knife made from the 1910s to the 1930s. 

A great knife for slicing roast beef, ham, turkey etc, where a thin slice is preferred, it shows use and wear but nothing distracting, the blade has not been sharpened in too much and the handle is nice and secure despite a tight hairline crack on one side.
