Editor's Pick Antique Sheffield Bread Knife Carbon Steel Carved Wheat Handle At A Low Price [9BVxaui6]

Antique Sheffield bread knife with 6.25" carbon steel blade and carved wheat handle made anywhere from the mid 19th to early 20th century. 

The hand forged blade has a 'puddle weld' where the iron tang was forge welded to the steel blade, this was a common Sheffield practice to save steel and make working the tang easier, especially on shear steel which was made in smaller amounts than bessemer steel. 

Knife has been thinned in the past removing a bit of the marking which looks like it was a somewhat generic "Bread Knife" marking.
