Chef knives by LF\u0026amp;C have a very distinctive square-shouldered, narrow bolster that sweeps in deeply to join the blade; once you recognize this feature, it's hard to miss. They made knives OEM for many other companies, but LF\u0026amp;C was the only one to use that shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife has been sharpened a little; it will be eligible for a thinning before too long, but has a sharp, tough, slightly thick edge right now. The handle shows lots of wear but is still solid and secure. It's hard to find smaller chef knives from this era; it's clearly been heavily used but still has lots of life left. A full refurbishing and thinning will really bring it back to life, but it's ready to be a workhorse currently, priced accordingly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"box of old knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182911860957,"sku":"VIN1414","price":113.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC04554_ff9f6a84-9fd5-46de-a854-d48e4f9b5330.jpg?v=1784249573","url":"https:\/\/bernalcutlery.com\/en-fr\/products\/lf-c-8-chef-knife-carbon-steel-rosewood-1920s-60s-usa","provider":"Bernal Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
