They are kind of like 'corn razors'!

I've been looking around the internet and think the Greaves is an herb chopper.

Well I have come to the conclusion it could be anything I want to use it for. I took a lot of excursions on the bay and Google looking a blades shaped close to the same and like all of you say it could be this OR that. Will have to clean it up and see what kind of edge I can get on it. I going to try using it as a chopper first. That's what I bought it for so....
Thanks for all the input. I am thoroughly confused now :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

13.5" in length, blade is 5" tall at highest point, blade is 7". Weighs close to two lbs.
Blade and tang are tapered.
Trying to figure out just WHO made it. I know it wasn't Greaves.

Now that is a chopper Wullie. I keep an eye out for those. To cheap or I would have a few. Does the "a" in the diamond represent something other than a makers mark ?
Side note:: Funny this thread popped up again when it did. Just scored A Robeson Shuredge Butcher knife. Pics when I get it :<0) I keep buying this stuff looking for a decent Bresnick chef's knife.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

That is quite a find! I would love to see more pictures! Are you going to restore it or leave it as is?

Haven't seen any Bresnick knives that I know of. Don't usually pay much attention to kitchen stuff unless it looks old and wicked. LOL Originally Posted by 10Pups

I think it'll stay as is. May tune the edge up a bit, but it doesn't need much. Originally Posted by Ernie1980
