A modest attempt at translation:
Peeling knife, left handed. 5 cm blade. Hardened Solingen steel. Classy handle.
Measures, weight and description:
Blade: 56 x 16 x 3,9 mm
Edge: 35 mm
Total length: 158 mm
Weight: 37 gram

Raadvad rosewood left-handed peeling knife.
Vegetable peeler, potato peeler, root peeler.
The Raadvad rosewood knife-series is a classical kitchen ware series. It is the result of old crafting traditions.
It is high quality, user friendly design and has a classy finish.

The blade is mounted by rivets going all the way through the handle.

Comes with a ten year waranty.
I got mine from my mother when I moved out 19 years ago, and it's still as good as new, and it's not like I don't use it

Raadvad is the brand name. A Royal Danish Court purveyor btw

...hmm...not knowing how long things would take to get from Denmark to Florida, I figure that a reminder that my birthday is in January, fairly close to my anniversary of becoming a mod here, is due...

...but then, the capers weren't perfect in the aliantha sorbet, were they...

I've seen those shapeners, Luci. I'll have to try it out if my ceramic wheels one ever bites the dust. I wonder if the cutlery shop that lets you handle the knives would allow me to bring in one of my own knives to try it on.

And aren't those rosewood handled potato peelers Prebe linked just awesome???

There once was a Wüsthof blade.
So shiny, dull, and well-made.
But when asked to cut
The knife said, "Huh? What?"
For a Chef's knife it only portrayed.
