Thread: This old cleaver restoration.

  1. #1

    This old cleaver restoration.

    This was one of 2 cleavers handed down to me from my grandfather who was a butcher among many other things he did during his life like riding Harleys in the wall of death back in the early 1900's

    This cleaver is a 9" the other is a 10" that I may show later.
    Anyway the scales have been taped up for years as I used it for the last 30 years.

    My good friend Robie at PF has come thru again with some gorgeous walnut and orange osage blanks so that I can restore this relic to its former glory. I can't thank Robie enough for providing these beautiful blanks for me to make some new scales.

    So here we go slow but sure.




    Made in Buffalo NY White 9" 1837 is the marking.

    I don't think Bob Vila could pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel. He was good at watching the real craftsmen and of course, mugging for the camera.
