This here is a restored 125mm stainless steel petty, still with its original handle highlighted by brass pins. It's been polished up and finished with beeswax and orange oil to seal and treat the wood. The blade is a 50/50 bevel and it's been sharpened on a whetstone from 1000-3000 then finished on a leather strop.
This knife needs to be treated with love and care and should never be washed in a dishwasher or left in a sink. After use wipe this knife clean with a soapy rag and hot water and then thoroughly dry it. If this knife is going to be hanging around for a long time in between uses, I would suggest putting some mineral oil on it for something to protect the vintage steel.
