You for the knife. He said, never know what you may find there. Onceyou find an interesting item “Ten dollars.” I asked, and want to “How about five purchase it, you dollars?” He said no, then must deal and walked away. I with the merchant. examined the knife a More adventure. little longer and asked This story is about him if he would take one of those six dollars. He kept unexpected finds. his distance and did not respond. Then I decided to get the six dollars out of my wallet and My local flea waived the cash in the air. He eventually made his way over to me and market has a fair snapped the six dollars out of my hand. I thanked him and moved on number of before he changed his mind. merchants who barely speak any English. Many acquire their wares from bidding on vacated storage lockers. Their yield seems to consist I know what you are thinking, why did I offer him less? I would have of about 50% tools and the rest are household items – shelves, furniture gladly paid ten dollars for the knife. All I can say is that is what you do and kitchen stuff. Now the adventure is all about trying to find that at flea markets. This is a case of a vendor only seeing a rusty chef’s item that is worth way more than what the merchant has any idea knife and figuring about. One universal rule of thumb used by merchants is, “Shiny stuff its worth at what is worth more than the rusty stuff.” someone might pay for such a thing. I There is usually a lot of stuff to sift through, so some effort is required. felt it was worth Opening drawers, lifting boxes and climbing over stacks of stuff is all more, and this is part of the fun. There seems to be a constant stream of this type of ware what makes the coming in to the flea market. If you make regular visits to the market, ordeal so much fun. you get to recognize new stuff when it arrives. The idea is to get to that rare find before anyone else discovers it. Now that I had the knife, I decided to On one particular occasion do a little research. I came across a rusty chef’s Aquick search on the internet did not find much, but I did come across knife. It was made in a few discussions between professional chefs. Most of the discussions France and had a very appeared to be debates concerning the use of stainless cutlery verses distinct stamp on the blade carbon steel cutlery. Each side had its pros and cons. As far as the that looked something like stamp, one person commented, “Haven't heard of Sabatier Paris. I this: normally hear of Lion Sabatier or Elephant Sabatier.” And another explained "Veritable breswick" sometimes appear on eBay auctions Veritable Breswick and inevitably fetch sky high bids. EBay is not the place for a good buy Sabatier Paris -France in carbon steel, as there are too many crazy collectors lurking around.” Chef au Ritz So I am feeling pretty good about my flea market find at this time. It The blade was about 12 might be worth my time restoring this piece of history. If I replace the inches long with the whole knife about 17-1/2 inches in length. It was a handle, it might serve well in the kitchen. So I went about removing the fairly large knife. All of the metal looked like it was there even though old handle and squaring up the handle area. I decided to use koa wood it had a coat of rust over its entirety. The handle was cracked in several and stainless pins. I fitted up one of the koa scales and glued it on one places and had seen some repair work. What drew my attention to this side of the tang. I then drilled a new set of holes for the pins through the knife was its integral construction. It had an integral bolster tapered tang and on through the koa wood on the far side. The original configuration and even a tapered tang. It is really rare to see these maker(s) had tempered the tang properly so I was able to drill through features in aknife these days other than in a custom made one.
