Old knives Rock

Hi,
I get to see some fantastic knives, they are shipped to me from various parts of Canada and I never know what to expect.

This is another very old Henckels:

The owner said she had it for 50 years and she said she remembers it being old when she got it.
I sent pictures to Zwilling and they estimate that it is 80-100 years old.  Pretty cool, absolutely no damage to it and besides the handle showing some signs of it's age, it is a knife I would love to own.

 It was easy to sharpen, Naniwa Chosera 400, 1k, 2k and I finished off with an Imanishi 4k which does an amazing job polishing the bevels. Oh.....it's sharp, the carbon steel as you know takes an awesome edge. I can't wait for the owner to see it.
