Marked only Columbia C Corp New York. Hand ground stamped carbon steel with rosewood handle and nickel rivets. 

These are unused, new old stock 'new vintage', they had aquired some small rust spiders which left some shallow pits, we cleaned out the rust as gently as possible to maintain the original acid etch markings and surface grinding, a fresh edge has been applied as well. 

Columbia Cutlery Co acquired Foster Bros in the late 50s and this is likely from that stock it has an identical footprint to the same Foster Bros slicer.  


12" blade, 1.25" wide 17.5" overall 6oz

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.
