CONDITION NOTES:

Very Good/VG++ vintage condition with minor -to- moderate overall wear (small dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, stains, etc.) throughout from normal use over the years but NO breaks or repairs. Lightly cleaned using wire-wheel, so virtually zero rust but areas of minor pitting throughout. Remains quite sharp but could use a fresh sharpening for ultra precision cutting. Crisply incised maker's mark at one side of blade (features a great axe & butcher's block logo, see 2nd pic). Partial, barely visible maker's mark/logo at handle (zoom into pics 1, 3 and/or 4). Handle is solid & strong with tight brass rivets. Very nice example of a hard to find, beast of a knife!! See pics.

Measures 18-1/8" long, overall. Blade edge is 12-3/4" long. Handle is 5-1/2" long. Weighs 15.8 oz..
