Vintage A J Jordan AAA1 Carving Set Curved Blade Horn Tip Handles Sheffield, England 1880-1920s - 3 Pieces

3 piece carving set made from approx 1880's to 1920's. Hand forged 8 3/4" carbon steel blade has been sharpened in some but is still full of life, stag grips with brass pin in center are nice and secure. The Copley's patented guard is secure and the spring is nice and stiff, tines have a slight kink on one side but are otherwise in good shape. Light flexible blade has a fresh edge.

Andrew Jackson Jordan was an American from St Louis who set up a knife manufacturing business in Sheffield (the East India works) and imported knives to the USA made at the East India Works and on contract for A J Jordan by other Sheffield manufacturers.

Like all other culinary knives this should never go in the dishwasher, carving knife handles will come loose with high heat (dishwasher, stove top etc), carbon steel can rust if left wet or dirty, expect a patina to form with use.
