I think that’s a Butcher. Bertha will be after you for it! Folks that have them, love them!!

Smitty, you’re probably right. In the first line of the words (not photographed), all I can see for certain are the letters “UTCI-” and I thought it spells “DUCTILE”. After I looked more closely, I can see the right-side of a B in front of the UTC and what I thought was an I- after the C is actually an H. BUTCHER it is. Thanks.

Although I can’t see a hint of extra letters, it’s possible the 2nd line is “BEST STEEL” or “CAST STEEL”

Looking back over my first post, I’m not sure where I got DUCTILE out of the letters UTCI-. I guess I had a “dyslexia moment” while squinting through my magnifying loupe.

Arrow Trade mark or Hallmark screams Butcher. Refurb the haft or “handle”, sharpen and you have a paring blade.
