All stainless French cleaver marked PIGEXTRA INOX France with 5.75" cutting edge and 8.5" at widest point. It is hard to date this one but it is possibly 1970s to 90s, possibly older. 

These cleavers were made for short powerful strokes separating joints especially lamb chops at the vertebra. The wide short blade brings a lot of force down with its weight without having to swing much.

This one is in excellent barely used condition, there is no evidence of being hit with a metal hammer and the finish is nice and clean.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
