A while back I had returned from a 4 week visit/ to see family in Hungary and vacation in some surrounding countries, This was my Grandfathers knife, he used it 30 years ago the last time I saw him(I was 15 then) to cut Kielbasa and smoked/cured meats in the pantry for our afternoon meals along with cutting up bread and onions and peppers to go with the ham.
My cousin found it in the basement and gave it to me as a gift when I went home.
It's gotta be over 60 years old and other than the pitting/character it's as strong as the day he let me use it to cut myself a piece of kielbasa the last day I saw him.
I hadn't even thought of that day or the knife in nearly 30 years, her giving me that knife brought a tear to this old Mad Hungarians eye.
It says Gerlach Poland on the tang I'm not even sure what kind of wood it has for handles, anyone ever seen or heard of this brand.
BTW the trip was great, great food, great booze, great family.

Of course, but the machining that you do on it is quite incredible. You probably could put a sanding bit in your mill and do it all on the machine
