Unmarked vintage French boucher with hand-forged carbon steel blade and pre-mitre cut, post hand-carved beech wood handle with iron pins.

A simple and ancient design great for a variety of jobs: cutting chops, trimming, the light parts of breaking, etc. The boucher is the French answer to the bullnose butcher knife, a little wider with a tendency to drive a little straighter. The one-piece handle gives a firm secure grip.

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.
