Heritage & Use

The Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn name is retained from this knife's recorded identification, without assigning a production date or specific manufacturing history to the individual blade. Its recorded flexible fillet profile suits careful work along the contours of fish and suitable boneless meat. No waste-free cutting or fatigue-free performance is guaranteed. Carbon steel can develop a natural patina with use and requires attentive drying to help prevent rust.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only; never use a dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use and avoid soaking the wood handle
• Use a honing method appropriate to the existing edge and its condition, avoiding excessive pressure on the flexible blade
• Sharpen on suitable water stones following the existing bevel, or consult a specialist
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil before extended storage
• Store clean and dry with the edge protected
