Antique Sheffield bread knife with 6.25" carbon steel blade and carved wheat handle made anywhere from the mid 19th to early 20th century. 

The hand forged blade has a 'puddle weld' where the iron tang was forge welded to the steel blade, this was a common Sheffield practice to save steel and make working the tang easier, especially on shear steel which was made in smaller amounts than bessemer steel. 

Knife has been thinned in the past removing a bit of the marking which looks like it was a somewhat generic "Bread Knife" marking. 

6.25" blade 12" 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.
