My Buddy bought a "Cheapo" (in Spanish "El cheapo") Chi-Com cleaver. I was over at his house for a cookout and I saw with my own eyes ::uc:: when he smacked down on the ribs to cut the rack... and bam!!! A big 'ol chip on the blade :shock: He hit it a few more times and could not believe it SABATIER Rowoco INOX Cleaver 6 inch Blade Made in France::facepalm:: . He threw the cleaver in the trash. I retrieved it ::sneaky:: ... I had to post the picture of next to my SABATIER Rowoco #51 Cleaver Made in France. ::sotb:: ......... Not that expensive, but a LOT BETTER QUALITY!!! ::groove::

I bought this with the intent of using it to cut up meat, but it is absurdly large and heavy. It might be useful for butchering a rhinoceros.

Looking online for something else I found this nice piece of ephemera. It a retailer's Foster Bros. label in green ink, securing wrapping paper around presumably a Foster Bros. cleaver.

Arrow trademarks must have been popular. Offhand I can think of John Russell Co. that sometimes used it, and Parker Brothers, the Meridan, CT gunmaker, as stamped on barrel ribs.

late entry: I see that Friedrich Dick, of Esslingen, Germany, used the arrow mark as well. There must be many more that do.

Interesting! What year do think it was made?

I’m not really a kitchen knife guy but I may try to restore these and enjoy them.
