Forged stainless slicer made in Eskilstuna Sweden under the Jernbolaget brand with macasser ebony handle and cast pewter alloy ferrule.

The blade has been sharpened in a little and does have some heavier scratches from a previous sharpening behind the edge. It has removed a bit of the Jernbolaget mark but should cut just fine, it comes with a fresh edge. 

This knife has a very distinctive Swedish design to it using a cast pewter to set the tang in the handle forming a ferrule in the process. The overall design draws on the old French Cuisine Massive (AKA Nogent) style but the handle shape with its short birdshead and flared center is definitley Swedish. 

The parent company of Jernbolaget Jernmanufaktur operated a factory that made a large variety of household and industrial goods as well as operating a pig iron foundry and iron and steel manufacture. 

10.25" cutting edge, 15.5" overall

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.
