Amazing Mike Wood (forum name: mcswood) cleaver. I prefer to call this one a War Cleaver. Extremely well thought out and put together. Feels great and solid in the hand. Ready for serious business!
Here are the specs taken from the original listing:
11" overall and weighs 38.5 oz.
The cutting edge is 1095 spring steel 5 5/8"L X 4 15/16"W X 1/4"thick.
The bolster and pommel sides are 1018 steel WELDED to the full tang.
The scales of Fiddleback Maple are 5" long.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a black steel snap making for an extremely rugged, rough use sheath. Pack style (no beltloop).
The rough beveled blade is reheated in the forge to glowing red and quenched in strained used motor oil. After it's cleaned of slag it's brought back up in temp. until it can be struck with a file.
I leave the file marks showing. I like a handmade knife to look handmade. This is how I harden / tempor my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well.
MINT as received from maker, never used, carried, or re-sharpened. I love this and it is the only cleaver style blade in my collection, but I need to move it.
Price: $285>> $250 shipped. MO or paypal (gift preferred, but I will eat the fees if you do not feel comfortable with the personal option). I will ship internationally, but you must pay the full shipping cost and I cannot be held responsible once it has left the US.
*No trades please- need the cash.
Thanks for looking. PM or email me.
