Beautiful unused new fully hand forged bosltered carbon steel Gustav Emil Ern heavy chef knife blade is 14 7/8" long, 2 5/8" wide at bolster tapering from a chunky 1/4" thick at bolster, overall length is 20 1/4". Handle is beautiful and naturally rot resistant European walnut stained a lovely charcoal color over a slightly featd tang. The surface is as bright and shiny as the day somew around 50 years ago when it had the final touches put on it in Solingen and was wrapped up. This knife was made well before the 1987 conversion to recycled steel and was forged by hand, unheard of today. A knife of this quality is unavailable outside of the world of custom knife making today and is an excellent example of one of Solingen's finest old makers in their heyday. This knife would make a stellar addition to any collection or would make for a fearsome addition to any kitchen. The steel used in this knife although bright and shiny now will pick up a darker patina with use. Always avoid putting carbon steel in a dishwasher and avoid soaking as well, a quick wipe with a cloth or fast washing with out soap is best as is a periodic oiling, specially before storage. A lot of things get said about carbon steel that are not quite true, it is a fabulous material that is cartainly developing a large following but not everything said is entirely accurate.
