Description: Offered for your consideration is a very nice vintage Case XX CAP 200-8" chef's knife. Case made their kitchen knives in many different configurations over the years. Variations included finger-grooved or straight handles, full tang, dot system dated or not, thick blades, thin blades, etc. This example is half-tang, finger-grooved knife. The 200-series chef's knives were available with 4, 6, 8, or 10-inch blades. The knife has seen light use and remains in excellent condition with no problems at all. It has not been cleaned or buffed and remains original. The knife has been very well cared for over the years and shows no signs of abuse or rough treatment. The blade has been lightly sharpened and remains very close to full. The blade finish is free of errant grind marks or harsh sharpening abrasions with just some very fine, hairline abrasions (that were magnified by the camera flash) from normal use. The blade etch remains fully visible and bold with great contrast against the deeply mirrored finish. The edge is free of any cracks, chips, dings, or damage and remains very nice with just some normal wear. It remains somewhat sharp and the knife is ready for immediate use, although a quick touch-up would have it razor sharp in no time. The laminated hardwood handle remains especially nice. It was tightly secured and it's rock-solid. It shows absolutely none of the common dishwasher bleaching or fade and it also shows none of the associated gapping. The wood remains tight to the tang over the entire length and the handle is free of any cracks, chips, gouges, or damage with just a touch of normal wear from use/storage. The surfaces are free of any stains or discoloration and the handle has a warm, silky-smooth feel in the hand. The knife measures just over 12-3/4" in overall length. This would be an excellent replacement or spare for someone with an old set. Of course, it would also be great as a stand-alone knife for anyone who appreciates premium-quality, American-made cutlery. An excellent vintage knife for the Case collector! Sorry but no international shipping.
