Anybody Use a Cleaver?
      10/05/09 12:25 PM

We butcher quite a bit of game and domestic stock {mostly sheep, chickens, some rabbit} here, and in the past, I've always used a hand meat-saw for cutting chops and separating carcasses. But it is a pain to use, so occaisionally I use one of my parang or bolo knoves for the latter.

Anyway, I have wanted a heavy cleaver for a long time, and just haven't gotten around to making one.

Got the heavy work done today. I annealed the bar, cut it out, shaped and trimmed it, drilled all holes and heat treated it.

It is HEAVY, and will easily cut chops and split carcasses.

Who uses a cleaver for butchering game, etc, anybody??

Here it is, laid out on a scrapped 33 inch Oregon chainsaw bar, my favorite stock for heavy knives.

I'll post along the way.
