Old Hickory 8" Slicer

First introduced in 1924, the Old Hickory® knives are the most venerable product line still in active production. The Old Hickory® knives feature a hardwood handle secured with brass compression rivets to 1075 carbon steel blades that are both very sharp and capable of retaining an edge better than most stainless knives. Proudly manufactured with artisan processes for over 90 years, Old Hickory® has stood the test of time and is proven to be the best carbon steel kitchen cutlery sold today.

USE & CARE

Please note that the Old Hickory knives are made with carbon steel.  We have been making Old Hickory since the early 1900's.  Carbon steel knives require extra care to prevent rusting and oxidation of the surface.  Old Hickory should not be placed in a dishwasher or allowed to soak in a sink.  We recommend cleaning the blade with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly.  Some people go a step further and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the blades surface. If your blade shows signs of rust, use some steel wool to remove it and then apply some oil to the blade.   To keep the blade razor sharp, use a honing steel, sometimes referred to as sharpening steel, or sharpening stick. After years of use, the steel blade will develop a patina, a darkening which is desirable and an indication of its age.  Old Hickory knives are durable and affordable, but do require special care.

From a collection: Original c1992 Al Mar Special Warfare 1 (3101) fixed blade knife. Features a 6 1/8" satin finished plain edge stainless blade (probably VG-10 - but I'm not sure I remember that). Titanwood laminate palm-swell handles. Brass guard. 11 1/8" overall. Knife has never been carried, used or sharpened. Handle has the smallest of a chip that was lost during the drilling for lanyard tube. Not uncommon on laminate handles. Not very noticable, but just letting you know it's there. Original leather sheath that has never been out of it's factory plastic bag. (So this knife has never even been sheathed before) Numbered pre-production piece. Knife, cardboard blade sleave and box all bear original number. Original box is solid - but, here is the bad news - It shows storage wear, some staining and some scrapes....still solid, still original, but like me, just not pretty. Priced accordingly. Pristine knife as it came from Seki City - including the chip in handle - character some might say. Sheath brand new. Box, rather ratty looking. Side note - we sold this knife new c.1992. NOTE: While in excellent condition except as noted, be advised this knife is from a collection, so please consider it used.

Right from the beginning, Brad Zinker aimed the Boker Plus FR at the range of sturdier gentleman's folders. However, the FR Mini takes the sturdy appeal into a much more compact format without dimming the charm of the rugged utility knife. A successful synthesis of elegance, comfort and function. Titanium framelock and VG/10 blade with ball bearings and flipper. With a clip (tip-up).
