I can see it now too!Phixt
That cleaver would make a fantastic canvas for a nice kitchen knife built similar to a TOPS Frog Market Special. If not for a kitchen itself, but a nice camp kitchen knife.

From the top:
1. 2008 Case Mini Trapper with a broken spey blade and yellow synthetic handle that I salvaged. I made it a single blade knife with antique paper micarta scales.
2. Opinel #9 with a Gun Blue and Bleach patina.
3. The first and only knife I've ever made. This is NOT a kit knife. The blade is O1 and the handle is black canvas micarta. Pins, shield, bolsters and liners are nickel silver. I started with bar stock O1, nickel silver and micarta slabs. I even did the heat treat, temper and blade etch! Holds an edge beautifully. It has a half stop and the spring sits flush in the closed, half and open positions.
4. Case Sodbuster Jr. that I modified. I changed the scales from synthetic yellow to natural canvas micarta and added a different shield.

OK, I know friends from the Becker sub-forum are probably tired of me posting this one and purist may or may not agree with the forced patina, but this is one of the best forced patina I made on one of my all time favorite fixed blades:
Wow, that's wicked!!! How the hell did you do that!! Definitely eye catching
