Sheepsfoot slicer made by Thiers Issard in the 1970s. This unusual shape is the original design, I have found numerous ones in the size and shape not certain what the intended use was. 

Blade has some scattered scratches but is still in good shape and hasn't been sharpened in much, comes with a fresh edge. 


6.75" cutting length, 11" overall length and 3.5oz

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.
