Manufacturer: Lake & Son Co
This is a rare antique food chopping knife with an unusual wood handle.
This item has an unusual 6 7/8" high carbon steel blade, in the round, for use in a chopping bowl.
One side of the blade has an inscription which appears to be: LAKE & SON CO Albany Cast Steel Warranted, The blade has extensive patination, pepper marks, & old surface pitting; however, the blade is sharp, shows vintage use & gentle sharpening.
The blade rings with high pitch when tapped, as extremely hard steel blades should. The blade is perfectly round without worn areas.

The handle is unusual, carved Hickory wood & the blade is firmly attached to it with 2 brass rivets, with large heads. One rivet is somewhat larger, with a recessed center with an eagle in the center. Around the center eagle is the inscription: SUPERIOR WARRANTED. There are no cracks in the wood handle.
It is the most unusual chopping knife we've seen, & while showing age, is in very good condition - museum quality. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest.
