Assorted "Historically inaccurate" re-ground 6-6.5" boning knife repurposed from a larger vintage knife.
*Listing is for one knife, these are shown as several examples of the first run, knife you receive will most likely be different
Originally a carbon steel knife made in Gemrany from about the 1920s to the 1960s, we re-profiled its carbon steel blade into a stiff narrow boning knife here at Bernal Cutlery. The sides have a fine convex face, with many featuring an old-style long swedge along the spine.
This knife had another whole life before being repurposed, so expect wear to the handle and 'imperfections' that might be associated with a used antique table knife.
A quick word from Josh Donald about these:
It's not uncommon to find great old German butcher's knives sharpened down to a shadow of their original shape but with a totally intact handle. Back then, butchers loved this old hand-forged German carbon steel for its easy sharpening and great edge life; they paid a premium for high-quality German butcher knives and often got their money's worth by sharpening them way past their original geometry. While you can't make a cucumber out of a pickle, but you can make a great boning knife out of a sharpened-down scimitar or bullnose, and that is what we are doing here. As such they are "historically inaccurate" so we have marked them as such.
