Case \u0026amp; Sons has been making knives in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1889 - one of America's most storied cutlery names. This vintage chef knife carries that heritage in its bones: high carbon steel that takes a keen edge and develops a natural patina with use, a solid wood handle worn smooth by decades of work, and the unmistakable Case XX stamp that collectors and cooks alike recognise. At 200mm, it sits in the sweet spot for everyday kitchen tasks - nimble enough for fine work, substantial enough for breaking down larger cuts. A genuine piece of American kitchen history, ready for another chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade after drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds beautifully to regular sharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore in a knife roll or on a magnetic strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53911076962595,"sku":"CK-V8162","price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/8BDA833A-3193-42DB-9989-9358D7F2BD9E.jpg?v=1748327233","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-case-xx-chef-knife-200mm-carbon-steel-usa-1913","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
