New Vintage Thiers Issard Sabatier 4 Star elephant carbon steel round tipped slicing knife in original sleeve. These have a somewhat stiff blade, and would be great for all sorts of slicing jobs where thin straight slices with minimal pull apart are key.

These are unused and but might show some light scuffs on sleeves or small rust spots on tangs. Carbon steel from this era sharpens super easily on stones and comes back with a few swipes on a sharpening steel. Most of these have a wax coating that can be removed with rubbing alcohol.

New Old Stock, Vintage and New Vintage knives do not come sharpened. Please request sharpening if desired in the order notes section of the cart page.

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.
