This rare vintage flat-profile butcher's sharpening steel is made in Germany by Friedr. Dick and features the classic arrow maker's mark stamped on the blade. Measuring approximately 19 inches in total length and weighing 1 pound 2.5 ounces, it is built with a heavy-duty flat sharpening surface and a classic turned wooden handle with a metal guard and pommel cap. Please note that the metal crossguard is slightly loose and the piece is missing its original base hanging ring. Despite these condition notes, the steel maintains an authentic dark patina, and the rare flat shape makes it a highly desirable find for collectors of vintage professional butchery tools.
