Vintage Ed Wüsthof Dreizackwerk narrow 10" slicer with solid Macassar ebony handle. This is from the first generation of Wüsthof knives to break into the American professional market in the 1970s, displacing other knives that were dominant at the time, such as various Sabatier brands made in the late 1960s to early 70s.

Made with non-recycled steel and drop-forged rather than upset, electrically heated, and bulged sheet as done today.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.
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.
