Vintage drop-forged hand ground carbon steel Lamson chef knife with rosewood and brass handle.

This knife had a very light electro etch with the Lamson logo which was sadly lost when cleaning some rust from the face of the blade. 

Possibly made from the 60s to 80s it has a drop forged and hand ground blade (not hand forged), it has been sharpened in some just to where it might require a thinning in the future after several sharpenings, priced accordingly. This is from the very last of this era of American knife-making in New England.

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.
