36:T499,I've owned a series of these knives over a number of decades, using them as my primary kitchen knife. I bought copies for my family who also loved them and also used them on a regular basis. One of the first times I used one, about thirty years ago, I used to cut up smothered steak, which was covered in gravy. At the end, I washed my hands and found that I had several flaps of skin hanging onto my fingers; the knife had cut me, but not enough to draw blood.The only real flaw to the knife is that the wooden handle starts to break down, especially if cleaned in a dishwasher. I looked for a replacement, unsuccessfully, for about ten years. Late one Saturday night, I couldn't find the knife, and looked carefully thru my kitchen drawers, finding a previous instance, which I had set aside because the handle was about to come apart; it had been forgotten.

The bump at the far end of most knife handles usually faces down (in the same direction at the cutting edge of the knife), but on this one, it faces up, so it isn't quite as comfortable/ergonomically friendly. My first thought was that I had just received one with the handle attach
