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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44483194749219,"sku":"CK-V1300","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_25f17e84-6c81-47ea-8a31-1100fe4b01f9.jpg?v=1782807910","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-bargoin-french-carving-knife-160mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
