Antique Antler Blade Sharpening Steel. Outstanding quality. This antique steel sharpening blade has a silver band on the antler handle and end cap and is unmarked. More than likely, the band and cap are silver-plated. It is unknown if the antler is true bone or a manufactured antler. The end cap of this sharpening blade is loose. It has the expected signs of usage, including minor scuffs and indents. The blade is tight to the handle. A superb gift for the avid chef.
