Antique Heinrich Nax Germany French-style Carbon Steel Butcher Knife SHARP
PLEASE NOTE: We take our photos in natural light outdoors and as a result there are sometimes reflections or shadows or glare shown in the blades. In person none of these exist; we will say so in the description if it may be otherwise. Please read our Terms below for details. This beautiful antique butcher knife came to us as part of a much larger collection of German cutlery pieces and it's by far one of the most beautiful, as you can plainly see. Made in the traditional rustic style that dates back centuries in Europe, and especially in France (you can see paintings in the Louvre dating to the 1400's where French peasants were depicted slaughtering livestock with a knife of this profile), it's constructed with a solid fruitwood handle (probably some kind of pearwood) hafted with iron pins onto a hand-forged, partial-tang blade, entirely free of cracks, separation or looseness after more than a hundred years of use. As you can see in the photos, the blade was forged thick for a knife of this size and style and has no flex--more like a hunting knife than a typical kitchen or butcher knife. There's no doubt this knife could still be used today to deadly effect, in any meat locker, butcher shop or kitchen.

Hand-forged carbon steel like this is just about as good as it gets and will take the keenest possible edge (it is frighteningly sharp now). Measures 15.5" long with 9.75" blade, but it's a HUGE piece in terms of character and quality. Whether you're a chef, a butcher or just a black powder mountain man looking for something authentic to hang on your belt or to put on your trade blanket, THIS is an heirloom-quality knife worth taking home for your own.
