The Bargoin Carving Knife

Bargoin knives were manufactured by the fifth or sixth generation of knife makers in the Thiers region of France - a lineage of craftsmen who ground every blade by hand using traditional methods. This 160mm carving knife is a product of that tradition: the Inox steel blade was ground by hand for extraordinary cutting power, and the bone handle gives it an elegance that modern production knives simply cannot replicate. Manufactured between 1950 and 1960, it is a genuine antique in perfect state. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.
