Antique J A Henckels 7.25" slicer / kitchen knife in very good condition. The carbon steel blade is very full, having only been sharpened a few times, it has seen a small amount of rust leaving scattered shallow shallow pits in several spots but is otherwise super clean. The cherry wood handle is free from cracks or damage and has not shrunk very much at all.

This knife was hand forged after being drop forged and then ground on the old large stone wheels which is shown by the slightly irregular surface. 

7 1/4"+ blade, 11 7/8" overall length 3.28 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.
