This .250 inch thick, 4.5 pound, heavy-duty, two-handed meat cleaver was forged from W-2, high carbon steel. The face of the 6 inch wide blade is 9 inches long. It was hand ground by Andy Alm and heat treated professionally by Peters' Heat Treating. The blade was differentially quenched using clay, producing a faint hamon line along the grind. Not only is this cleaver aesthetically pleasing, it was made for superior functionality.
I stabilized some wormy American chestnut, which was reclaimed from my parents barn (built in the late 1800's) for the 8 inch handle. The pins are mild stainless steel, and the wood is finished with food grade safe oil and caranabua wax.
This hog splitter was made entirely local, in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA.
