French Cleaver '303' 6" Carbon Steel Turned Handle C1900-1930's 17.5oz

French butcher cleaver with forged carbon steel blade, brass ferrule and turned wood handle with tang and washer at butt. The style of manufacture looks very pre-war / turn of the century although it could possibly be a bit older. 

Blade had seen some rust and errant grinding but nothing terribly abusive, handle is nice and secure even with the small crack. 

A handsome old cleaver that still has some work left in it with fresh sharp convex edge. 

6x4" blade 3/16" thick

11 75" overall length

17.5 oz
