Unused Clyde Swedish carbon steel "Hammer Forged" Professional 7" bullnose butcher with rosewood handles. 

Clyde was established in 1850 in Clyde Ohio and this knife likely dates to the 1960s or 70s. The larger rivets could suggest that it is a bit older, but this general design was made over a long period of time. Unusual to find in unused shape and a revelation to me they used Swedish steel in some.

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.
