Drop forged over 100 years ago from virgin steel (NOT recycled steel like is used today) at the Sabatier factory in Thiers France This piece is a real find. It was located in a warehouse owned by a gentleman who used to own Sabatier.
The blade measures 4 X 0.75 inches and is not marked. The overall length of this knife blank is 8 3/4 inches. Total weight is 1 1/4 oz.
The blade is straight with a Nogent (Rat Tail) tang. This blank is virgin forged and has not been ground or worked in any way. Please Note: The knife blank in the picture is a fair representation but not the exact knife blank you will be receiving.
