This puppy is just shy of five pounds and nearly three feet long. I don't think any were ever made bigger than this and the only one I ever saw. It is available.

I love the cleavers from the old German carving sets!

This is a "Big-un" I am working on restoring. It is marked "99" or "66". I am not sure what the number refers to....

Two more from my collection...

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

when he smacked down on the ribs to cut the rack... and bam!!! A big 'ol chip on the blade

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

... I had to post the picture of next to my SABATIER Rowoco #51 Cleaver Made in France.

......... Not that expensive, but a LOT BETTER QUALITY!!!

Dalstrong Obliterator

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.

Here is the K&T Dunston cleaver after rust removal clean up.

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 have had these a long time. Trying to decide what to do with them.

Those look like pretty interesting restoration projects

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