Barely used Carl Schleipper 12" carbon steel slicer most likely made in Solingen Germany in the 1960s, with hand-ground, drop-forged blade, and cherry wood handle scales with brass rivets. Hand ground has a old style, narrow bolster and convex face, characteristic of hand ground knives. The tang has no taper and the blade is a hair less dramatically tapered. This, along with the solid wood handle with brass compression rivets rather than pin and disc rivets suggests a 1960s hand-forged manufacture.

The blade was possibly never used, but had one rust spot near the mark that needed a light buffing to remove. In excellent condition otherwise.

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.
