    Default Kitchen Knife at Goodwill.

    so I was at goodwill today, and I was looking for kitchen knives... I came across one that had some nice patina to it, and I flicked the spine and it sounds like about grade 6 steel. Anyway, it was a LOT harder than the cheap, stamped Chinese steel that some of the other knives in the drawer were made of and a lot harder than the knives we have at home...

    it is stamped with "VERITABLE ~ BRESDUCK/ SABATIER ~ PARIS, FRANCE" the ~ denotes a jump around a logo, and the / denotes a new line. Under the logo it says "Chef au Ritz." the Logo is a furiously mustachio-ed face with a chef's hat. pictures below...

    I can't really find a lot on it online... its about an 10" (~.25m) blade with an about 15" (~.43M) overall length. I did little bit of restoration on it... I hit it with 600 grit sandpaper for about 30 seconds... :lol:

    Any info from the wizened old sages of SRP?

    Wait... I thought Sabatier was the style of knife... I've seen "sabatier" on at least 3 marks of knives. Bresduck, TI and a third one I didn't recognize. Is it a brand or a factory or something? I'm just looking for more information... I've only been able to find one other Bresduck sabatier knife online.

    Currently it is a brand and it was acquired by TI. I do not know about vintage pieces, but I have never heard of them being made by anyone else but Sabatier, I believe it has always been an old French brand of cutlery.
