Herder chef knife

[Mika]

I haven't posted a lot in this forum. So I thought it was about time I started. I'm a chef who like a lot of other chefs enjoy knives and sharpening. I've picked up a couple of vintage knives this summer so I thought I would show off a little. Here is a 26 cm herder

Nice knife! Funny how the older German knives have so much nicer edge profiles than the newer ones.

That is sleek! Wicked find.

I know right? I'm always on the lookout for vintage henckels and the like. But their new stuff. Meh

Made for export to Argentina? Possibly re-handled in Argentina?

Look at the ferrule. OH MY, did they get the design from a candle stick holder?

Yup, Herder re-handled as a gaucho knife. Sheath gave it away.

How do they compare to the other knives you own? I've always found those blades interesting but never pulled the trigger. I should have gotten that 50 USD santoku when I had the chance

He's also a great re-handle
