Unmarked 10" Chef Nogent / Cuisine Massif Carbon Steel Nickel Walnut Thiers / Nogent 1950s-60s
Unmarked Nogent style / cuisine massif 10" chef knife made in either Nogent or Thiers in the 1950s or 60s. Blade looks to have been drop forged and then hand ground and the nickel ferrule has a brazing seam. I think this leans towards Nogent produciton as they used brazed nickel ferrules a little longer than Thiers did where nickel was replaced by aluminum largely in the late 50s 60s.
Blade is super full and had a dull factory edge when found. It had some surface rust which left some pepper spots but not deep pits.
Handle had a crack which is now filled in with epoxy and is nice and secure and ready to get to work.
