Vintage French Sabatier Nogent Style Slicing Knife 240mm High Carbon Steel Wood Handle 2273

Experience Nogent Elegance - Vintage Sabatier Slicing Knife 240mmThe Nogent style is the most distinctive silhouette in French cutlery - the exposed tang, the bolsterless transition from blade to handle, and the slender elegance that defines old-school French knife design. This vintage Sabatier 240mm slicing knife in high carbon steel with a wood handle is the second example in this collection (alongside 2272) - same format, individual character.The Specs Steel: High carbon steel Style: French Nogent-style slicing knife Blade length: 240mm Handle: Wood (Nogent-style exposed tang) Origin: France Condition: Vintage / pre-owned - one-of-a-kind piece Heritage and CharacterSabatier is one of the oldest and most recognised names in French cutlery, originating from the Thiers region - France's knife-making capital since the Middle Ages. The Nogent style is characterised by its stripped-back construction: no full bolster, just a clean blade-to-handle join with the tang visible through the handle. At 240mm this is a full-length slicer - capable of covering a whole side of salmon or a full roasting joint in a single pass. High carbon steel at this length rewards the cook who sharpens: a fine, sustained edge that makes presentation cuts feel effortless. Two Nogent slicers from the same maker is a rare pairing for a collection or a serious kitchen - each with its own individual story.Care and Maintenance Hand wash only - never dishwasher Dry immediately after use to prevent rust and handle damage Hone regularly on a smooth steel or ceramic rod Sharpen on water stones or a whetstone (1000/3000 grit) Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer
