Vintage 13.75" K Sabatier Jeune flexible ham or salmon slicer with carbon steel blade and dark European wood (walnut or pear?) handle pinned in brass. 

K Sabatier Jeune was an offshoot of the original K Sabatier company, at the time of the split there were two brothers running the company and the younger one left to form K Sabatier Jeune (younger). 

This knife had been sharpened in a tiny bit but not so much as to require thinning,  handles are solid and secure with one small gaps but no cracks.

Dating this knife is a little tricky as the Jeune stamp didn't change much over the decades but the smaller solid wood handle and the brass pins are a strong indication of 1930s to 60s manufacture.

13.75" blade and 19" overall

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.
