How civilized

with very light spotting to the surface of the lacquer visible under bright light

Symbolizing creation

Old Kitchen Chopper with Wood Handle and Forged Steel Blade calla lily design How civilizedI'm always tempted by these old chopper knives, which have such a terrific form and feel in the hand. Most of the time I resist, but I gave in to this very old one, which I love for the elongated shape of the steel blade and its strait, simple wooden handle. The wood is worn smooth and a little shiny. I imagine it could be sharpened up and used from now until forever, but also great just hung on the wall in the kitchen. 6" x 6 " x 1 1 4".
