Thanks for sharing this. I have seen this style of cleaver before, yet I never knew the name of them. They look like a very functional woods tool.
 
I have one of the Giustina pattern ones, it's a pretty hefty blade, very respectable. and with a nice leather grip. Only downside, no sheath.
 
Yup--no sheath. For now the classic billhook holster works very well, and you can see me using it in the video. We may eventually have some JRE leather done up for them, though.
 
Nice!
I drew this last week and was thinking about having it made.
I actually sketched this on the blade of one of your Baryonyx machetes and took some inspiration from it.

 
I grew up watching way too many Kung Fu movies and have always wanted a mega cleaver for my blade collection, I always thought that a hefty cleaver would excel at some chores in the woods- these sure seem to scratch that itch :)

Thanks for the vid.
Now all I need is 35 other guys waiving melee weapons and a "Bruce Lee" stand in.
 
Those are a couple of very bad boys. And with stacked leather handles! Thanks for sharing the vid!
 
Yeah the leather handles are nice. The fun thing is it seems like they get the leather as scraps from a local leather goods manufacturer or something because you'll get random colors in the stack like the red and green on the handle of the "Giustina" pattern in the video. :)

They have other names, too. Pretty much the exact same pattern of blade is used in Thailand and parts of Asia, where it's called a dao. And in some parts of SE Asia it's considered a version of a golok.
