Unmarked 12" lambsplitter with heavy and narrow blade profile that looks a lot like the Russell pattern with boxy tip from the 20s or 30s. Just a guess.

Blade is carbon steel with a fresh convex edge with microbevel, it had been sharpened a bit poorly at the edge but not heavily and no damage or abuse, hardwood handle is nice and secure with large brass rivets. 

12" blade, just under 3" at widest point, 17.75" at widest 37.8 oz

 

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.
