Thanks for spotting this

I think the brand mark is the fireman and ladder. The mark below that says ‘qualite superieur’

Found in Cherbourg France. for €1 by a friend. We can’t identify the brand name, interested in possible date too. The fireman and ladder looks like a trade mark. Under that there appears to be the faded word ‘France’. Below that it says “Qualite Superieur”

My thoughts too!

Nothing like a proper natural stone to keep your blades in fine fettle https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/14/hugely-exciting-and-rare-neolithic-polishing-stone-found-in-dorset

Makes absolute sense to me 😊 From the Derby Museum of Making https://www.derbymuseums.org/museum-of-making/

I have always been wary of the VCI and I would definitely wash the knife before use

Quality will always out!

I haven’t had this problem - for the most part my knives are used as and when needed. Only a few are in long storage and these are in their original boxes/ or sayas/ and wrapped in VCI

You are!

A yes it’s a lovely morning here!

As in ‘not humid’

Thank you and thanks for the cork idea

On a different matter, I often read on here from members looking for cheap carbon steel on which to practice, well these little knives are brilliant for the money. Okeya Kitchen Knife Set
