    Description

    Estate find of a retired meat cutter and self-proclaimed "barbeque pit master."  This was his go-to knife. Measuring a full 20" in length and weighs a hefty 1lb and its razor sharp.  The belly is 3" at the tang and the blade from tip to tang is 14.25" At the tang, the blade thickness is 3/16" thick.  This is a serious professional-grade piece.
    From the sharp tip to the tang it is free of nicks, gouges corrosion or even marks on the top of the spine. The three-rivet handle is solid and tight though at the end a small piece is missing as seen in pictures and a slight crack can be seen though it is insignificant to the performance of the blade.  As with all high-carbon steel knives, it has darkened and has light patina. The blade is smooth and free of any rough spots or valleys on either side.
    For dimensional comparison, I've placed my 15" Henkels
    Great addition to any home chefs' knife collection and perfect for when some serious cutting is needed and a great display piece in any kitchen.
    Will be carefully packed and promptly shipped.  Please note that it was sharpened when I got it and not something I would have tried.  Check my feedback and buy with confidence.
