We discovered these Historical knives, and cleaned and sharpened them up, including this 8” Carver, an elegant Turkish-style Kitchen Knife. The intriguing blade profile was inspired, we think, by the historic Yatagan knife. The stainless blade dips slightly down at the tip, a silhouette reminiscent of a classic Ottoman short saber. It's a great all-around utility blade, but excellent for carving up your Sunday roasts and holiday hams and turkeys. Features redwood scales held by three brass pins.
