[Share] Found an old Gyuto

[Omga4000]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my finding with everyone
Those of you may remember I was looking to buy a Nakiri, but ended up trying one and decided it was not for me.
While searching for a Gyuto to purchase, my girlfriend's mother told me she has a knife for me which is no longer using.
To my surprise it is an 8" X50 CR MoV V15 carbon knife. I don't know much about knives, but from my understanding this is the same steel Wusthof are using (and they are a good company, aren't they?).

The knife has some rust on it, the handle is a bit damaged from heat, and it's duller than a hammer, but I think if I send it to restoration and sharpening it could make a good first entery-level "high-end" knife.

I am unfamiliar with "ROSO" (or ROSC?), but hey, what could go wrong?
I'll update the post with new pictures of the knife after it returns from the restoration shop.

Probably a German knife (the steel "name" is DIN). It looks well balanced and in fairly good shape. Get it sharp and you will have an excellent "kitchen all-rounder". Enjoy !

Not familiar with the brand but there's a thread on the steel type ...

George Rose Import Co. California. Offered both sporting knives and culinary knives under "ROSCO" label. Products imported from Japan, Germany and Italy from 1950/60s onwards. Don't know if the brand name was sold to someone else by the time your Granton edge knife was made. Typical German profile, good kitchen knife steel, probably OEM'd out of one of the known major shops. Personally I would enjoy polishing that up.
