It was made with a stiff and sturdy, hand-forged carbon steel blade bolstered in clad pewter over gorgeous rosewood handled, pinned in iron over a full and tapered tang. Well over 100 years later and this knife is still rock solid enough to use on a daily basis by the serious chef or butcher. It was made with a blade that's as good as it gets--RAZOR sharp, having been professionally edged for this sale by the good people at Ross Cutlery in downtown Los Angeles, the best in the business and as such is FAR sharper than when it was new and FAR sharper than most other knives ever can be. Like all carbon steel knives of this vintage it's got a super-fine edge that's easy to hone and a pleasure to use.
Its beautiful design just invites the hand to hold and use it. It's clear the piece was meant to be as beautiful as it is useful, and it is VERY useful! It's as strong and solid as a tank and will last a couple more lifetimes if properly maintained.
Whether you want it as trade bait on your blanket, at the next black powder/rendezvous, for use in your kitchen or meat locker, or simply to display among your finest collector pieces, this is an exceptional, heirloom-quality knife that is sure to get noticed wherever it goes, and something you'll rightly be proud to pass along to future generations.
