Unused vintage 5.5" hand forged and hand ground carbon steel boucher butcher knife with iron and brass rosette riveted beechwood handle. Blade is unmarked, handle is in the old style pre-miter cut (1950's- early 60's?) Made in Thiers France.
This knife is very fine ground and is 'nail-going' that is, thin enough to bend very slightly at the edge with pressure on a fingernail. It not only works beautifully for precise butchery work such as trimming and seaming but also is a great small vegetable knife, the blade and handle at heel is shaped to bring full contact with the cutting board allowing for use like a small chef knife. While this is in a butcher's pattern I suspect these were also used as general utility knives as they do so well as such.
French 'boucher' butcher knives are used similarly to a scimitar or bullnose butcher knives; large cuts, slicing chops and steaks. The design of this knife dates back to the middle ages and is still used extensively in southern Europe and France.
Please note these can have small rust spots or imperfections, slight cants or waviness to the edge is possible as well. We do quality control on these but imperfections are possibly part of the picture.
Please request sharpening if desired, they are not sharp now.

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.
