This compact 140mm butcher knife carries all the hallmarks of that tradition: a robust carbon steel blade that takes a razor-keen edge and rewards regular honing with performance that stainless simply cannot match. Carbon steel develops a natural patina over time, a sign of a knife that has been used and cared for properly. At 140mm, this is a nimble, precise butcher knife - ideal for breaking down poultry, trimming fat, and working around bone with control. A vintage Nogent in this condition is a genuine find for the collector or the working cook who values character over convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately and thoroughly after every use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or camellia oil to the blade after drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a fine honing rod to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds beautifully to a good stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a knife roll or on a magnetic strip - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nogent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55456594723107,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/D4AFC217-D80A-422C-AF15-C211247EA70B.jpg?v=1787019362","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-french-nogent-butcher-knife-140mm-2169","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
