Rehabbed Briddell  carbon steel cleaver with Black Ash Burl handle

stabilized Burl and brass hardware 

8.25 blade (4.5” heel)

16.25” all day

3 lbs. 7.5 oz

These rehabbed cleavers are really fun and it’s a delicate balance between honoring the past and fixing it up for the future. I try to emphasize the line between where the blade was edge quenched originally. The darker line is the hardened steel and top lighter is softer. This monster is outstanding.
