Gallery, bananas for scale. https://imgur.com/a/MSNn3Qc
I picked this up a few years ago with the intention of adding it to my growing collection of kitchen knives, I've been lacking a giant roast slicer and $5 out of the basement of an antique store isn't much to miss for something that is at least a cool giant knife.
So far, I've ruled out Dexter, and Lamson. There are no markings on the blade. Besides its length as the distinguishing feature - it has a tapered tang, and the ... knuckle/finger/blade stop thing going from heel to bolster. If that has a technical term, please let me know.
I removed most of the existing surface stain and rust, though it needs a good high grit sanding still I think. Edge is shot, but can be remade if the most major issue of the knife can be taken care of - the last 1/4 or 1/5 of the blade is warped off to the left. Not something I can fix.
Few other minor defects, looks like someone put a little epoxy on the handles - possibly bad factory QC? It isn't the most well made knife by todays standards. BUT, it is comfortable to hold despite the large knuckle/finger/blade stop heel to bolster thing. Handle is a good size, and fits my hand well.
But I can't identify it, and I would like to fix it up and use it if possible.
Thanks in advance for any information.
