Vintage K.C. Seelbach 10.25” chef knife made in Solingen Germany with hand forged after drop forged carbon steel blade, rosewood handle and nickel rivets. 

Blade was a bit thick behind the edge from sharpenings and has been thinned and brought back to what would be similar to original geometry although it is a hair thinner than original grinds I have found from this maker. The blade originally would have had a bit more belly, it has a flat in the heel and a bit at the tip, if one wanted more curve in the tip it would be easy to change. Blade has a bit of flexibility at the tip 1/3 and has a great lively feel.  Edge is freshly sharpened.

German knives from the post war period show this curved transition from handle to bolster and were still done with a good amount of handwork alongside the industrial process in Solingen. 

Blade is 10.25” from tip to heel, 1.75” wide at heel and 15.25” overall 7.5 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.
