Vintage K Sabatier Jeune chef knife made approximately in the 1960’s in Thiers France. 

Knife is in fantastic used condition, it had some patina on the original finish but dows not look to have been ever buffed or re-surfaced. The light K Sabatier Jeune logo with grapes etch are still intact, the silver foil Jeune grapes logo is still mostly intact on the handle. Blade is very full with very little sharpening done. Rosewood handles show some light scuffs but are otherwise in excellent condition

The K Sabatier family business had been run by two brothers who split up due to a falling out between them resulting in the offshoot Jeune brand started by the younger brother (Jeune means young) .This knife was hand forged after being drop forged and ground on water stones in the old style giving them a great geometry; nimble where they need to be and tough in the heel. These are the quintessential post war French chef knife and K Sabatier Jeune are sought after for good reason.
