For sale is an old carbon steel chef's knife, with a blade just short of 9" long, and 1 and 11/16" tall at the heel. Knife measures 14" overall. Handle is tight-fitting to the blade, well-worn but in fine shape. It is made from mahogany, a deep reddish wood that has darkened with age (its use was quite popular primarily from before the turn of the last century up until about WWII in cabinet and tool manufacture due to its workability and durability. It also tends to resist rot and water damage extremely well.) Marked Pro Edge Knife Co., three lines have been scored on the handle on either side. Handle itself is rather large and thick. This is immediately noticeable when one grips the handle as it fills the hand very well, especially when contrasted with the blade, which is unique in its profile--very flat like a Sabatier, but with a pronounced upswept tip. All surfaces have been polished, and handle sanded and oiled. Adept at rocking, slicing (due to the profile), and chopping.
