Butcher knife

[PitchyPine]

Bought this at a flea market this morning, thought it was nice.

Hey! That is nice.

I have seen that style described as a French style chef's knife.
apparently the style has been popular for a few hundred years.

Enjoy!

Thanks, the handle is some kind of black material. :hmm:

After a closer look , with my glasses on :redface: i see it is wood, very dark wood.

Nice find though, looks like descent steel. The name does ring a bell but can't place it. :wink:

Joseph Tyzack and Son were in business from 1837 till they merged with Isaac Nash in 1951.

That`s cool, a lot of things seem to be getting more difficult :haha:
Rebel727 that makes it a fairly old knife.
Wondering if i should leave as is or grind it down a little narrower???

French chef's knife, a good one at that. Sheffield steel/knife works. If you don't like it send to me, I'll report on the worthiness of it. :thumbsup:

 

[rebel727]

I'd say that's up to you.

 

Very nice find there Pitchy. :bow:

Nice knife pitchy..wish I could find something like that..

 

[PitchyPine]

It was four bucks, couldn`t leave it lay there for that.

The symbol between the J-T looks like the triskelion for the Isle Of Man. :hmm:

 

[jasontn]

those are often refered to as sabatier's. i think its a manufactuers name as well as a model. i have tried to win several of those on ebay since rebuilding one for a friend. they usually run from 45 to over a hundred for certain models and shapes. 4 bucks was a helluva steal.

Hey Lenn, It looks like a dandy to me. and for four bucks you can't go wrong. Did you have any particular thoughts of a shape if you were to re-do it?

[PitchyPine]

Well geeeez guys you mean i actually made a good deal for once :haha:
Thanks guys, maybe i should leave it as is if it`s kinda rare. Maybe make a sheath for it or were those kind of knives only used for the camp needs ?

Been gone a few days. Here's one of those chef knives I reshaped.
