It is very likely from the early days of the 1850s or 60s, but could be as late as the 1970s. By the 1880s, I believe these hot stamps had been replaced by an acid etch. The hand forged after drop forged blade has been sharpened in some and was re-handled long ago in a light colored deciduous hardwood, possibly using nails as pins. It was done well, however, and is in keeping with its likely role as the main knife in a thrifty household. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife shows a heavy English influence with its parallel spine and edge with pointed bullnose tip. The blade has seen some rust but is otherwise nice and full, not having had a lot of grinding done. A knife like this would be used for much more than just carving meat, for many households this would be an all-purpose knife, taking the place of today's chef knife, although it can't be used in the same way in the heel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"box of old knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933389471965,"sku":"VIN1348","price":120.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC03632_41bd7b2a-cd51-46d2-b4d5-6253f5ce2124.jpg?v=1779065864","url":"https:\/\/bernalcutlery.com\/en-fr\/products\/lamson-goodnow-7-carving-knife-re-handled-s-falls-mass-1850-70s","provider":"Bernal Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
