Vintage Forgecraft USA Carbon Steel Chef Knife Hickory Handle 8\" BladeThis carbon steel blade sharpens and takes a razor edge easily and does not shatter like its stainless steel relatives.You must wipe it down after each use but its beauty and superior performance are worth it. This knife has been used and is in beautiful condition, coming in a VERY desireable medium size, which is not often found. Measures 12.75\" long with an 8-1/8\" blade with full tang, brass-riveted onto gorgeously grained hickory handles. An outstanding piece of vintage professional grade cutlery.Has some normal wear from oxidation, but blade is still sharp and usable. Blade has some wear from sharpening as well (see enlarged photos). Handle is in excellent condition with no issues.
