Thanks, it has about 8 inches of cutting with 12.5 overall. Not sure of thickness, calipers are in the shop, but it is thin for sure, we wanted a real slicer. It does have a distal taper to the tip, with a slight taper in the tang to keep the weight balance right at the heel.

Does it get thinner at the tip?
Does the tang taper in the handle?

Thank you, Kris.
It sure is a beautiful knife as are many others you have shown.
I always enjoy looking at them.

Thanks FRJ, much appreciated. Here is a cleaver my friend made for me, over 1/4 in thick CPM 3V, heat treated by Peter's using a Delta heat treat at 61RC. This thing is a monster and super abrasion resistant. Distal taper with a slight taper in the tang.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Great looking kitchenware, your wives should be happy!
*joking!
Surprised I haven't posted these Anton Wingen sets I've had, probably for close to 10 years. May have picked them up on eBay back then. One set has poultry shears that are gorgeous tools. The end cap is missing on one carving knife, both have been used. One knife has deer/elk etching. Great looking stag handles all around. Just might need to break out a set since the holidays are just around the corner.
My cat, Ireland, was helping out/modeling.

Nice kitchen tools Redrider.

That is a great looking set, John. Ireland seems to be ready for you to put it to use.

Ha! She would prefer a can of fish (sardines, oysters, etc). When I open a can, my cats are there with their mouths watering.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Great l@@king cutlery everyone!
I bought a raffle ticket at a local community fund raiser back in June. All the knives pictured below are what I won, including a box set. All are Made In China. I use the orange handle knife quite a bit and it is SHARP. The others are in a kitchen drawer. The box set, still sealed, also contains one of those flimsy plastic "cutting boards." Still, not bad for $1.00 raffle ticket.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Nice, I would guess the top knife has 489-8 stamped on the handle.
Joe
Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
It has 48-10 etched on the blade. nothing on the handle.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
This knife is unmarked, unless it is lightly marked under the stuff on the blade. flat on one side with an alternating rows of angled saw cutting action. Most of the Keystone designs are worn down. Not sure if it can be sharpened but it makes short work of loaves of hard crust gourmet breads. Not found matching pictures online, so any ideas of the maker?

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Found this Dexter opening ingredient sacks in a feed mill. When the copper sulfate scum would build up the guy cleaned it up on a wire brush on a bench grinder so it's badly scratched. Edge was good and it's my favorite meat carving knife. Never can decide whether to polish the blade because I'm afraid I'll lose the Dexter stamp.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Interesting where you make your 'finds' isn't it. For a long time to me a knife was just a tool and what ever knife was handy when I needed one was the one I needed. Congrats on finding that one.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Finds like that are the best. I gave him a utility knife and a fifty pack of blades and left with the Dexter and a badly used Montgomery Wards.

They made very good and desirable cutlery. I have several of their knives. Page one.
In 1935 they merged with John Russell Company to form Russell-Harrington Company. Apparently, still in business.
Nice knife, Bill.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Really great items everyone!! Here’s a Keen Kutter knife and fork set… Still in the onion paper… I don’t think it was ever used… I have a few of the same empty boxes that I use for my life collection also

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Those Keen Kutter boxed silverware sets are sweet! I've been hoping to find a decent one at a reasonable price at auction.
Are there any maker marks on the pieces?

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Just got this yesterday… Little Queen fixed blade… The very tip is broken ..I’m going to fix it up and I might use it as a paring knife or I might just keep it in my collection (probably collection) it looks like I was barely ever used I don’t know how the tip got broken
