FINE Vintage Lamson 10-3/8 Carbon Steel Chef Knife withRosewood RAZOR SHARP

Please read our Terms below for details. 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. This is an extraordinary knife forged extra-finely by this Lamson, America's oldest surviving cutlery maker, sacrificing NOTHING in the way of strength, balance, precision and performance.

Even if its markings were missing there could no disputing its origins as a Lamson knife; NO ONE else made their chef knives quite like this. It was made many years ago in Shelbourne Falls, Massachusetts by this proud American maker, constructed in the classic French chef's configuration, and you'll need to hold it in your hand only once to recognize you're looking at one of the finest pieces of professionally cutlery ever produced in the USA.

It was hand-forged from fine, virgin cutlery steel at a time when such attention to quality was the norm rather than the exception, and it has everything going for it one could hope to have in a chef's knife. In addition to the superb quality of its carbon steel it was hafted with exceptionally fine, dark, old-growth rosewood handles, triple-riveted over a full and finely tapered tang.

It packs a 10-3/8" blade t(knife is 15.75" overall) that rings when you thump it or steel it, demonstrating the superior temper of its steel. In my esteem, however, the knife's single most desirable quality is the lightness, balance and feel that it enjoys in the hand.

Though very heavy duty it's a graceful giant, capable of turning your inner cooking demon loose in the kitchen, to the utter horror of onions, celery or anything else you need to chop fast and furious. Obviously it's been used but its condition is excellent with no problems, as the photos clearly show. Its blade shines like stainless but it is, in fact, carbon steel and must be kept dry during use. If you've never used carbon steel knives before, you're in for a treat. Only a true carbon steel blade can consistently attain the razor-sharp edge that makes using it a true pleasure you must wipe the knife after every use to avoid stains and rusting, but will be richly rewarded with superior performance!

It is RAZOR sharp now, having been given a professionally-applied edge that will literally shave a man's face. Whether you're a chef, collector or simply someone who appreciates the finest cutlery for any purpose, here's an excellent opportunity to upgrade your arsenal with something singularly special, that you'll rightly come to think of as an heirloom. For what it's worth THIS is the knife that Michael Myers used to hack victims in the "Halloween" horror film franchise, but in a slightly smaller size.
