OKC Old Hickory meat axe 19 cm

OKC Old Hickory Cleaver 19 cm is used to process food in ways where the edge of an ordinary knife could be damaged, for example to cut through bones or harder vegetables such as pumpkin.

With its almost 100-year history, the Old Hickory knives from the American Ontario Knife Company are one of the most venerable product lines still in active production. The knives were introduced in 1924, the knife blade is in a hardened 1095 carbon steel and a genuine wooden handle with brass rivets. The knives look exactly the same today. The hard carbon steel is very sharp and has an ability to sharpen better than most stainless steel knives. Old Hickory knives have performed very well through the ages and proved to be a very affordable alternative. Made in the USA.

Note: The Old Hickory knives are produced from high quality carbon steel. The carbon steel is guaranteed to become dull and have a patina, which is proof of genuine carbon steel. The patina will not affect the properties of the blade. For best results, the knife should be hand washed and immediately dried completely dry. The knife must absolutely not be machine washed! If the knife is not handled correctly, it will rust.

Note 2: The factory sharpness of the Old Hickoy knives is very variable. Expect the knife to need sharpening to achieve the best sharpness. Once sharp, it holds sharpness better than most stainless steel knives.
