Thread: Now This is a Cleaver What is a Cleaver!

I found this at a scrapyard. Actually it isn't a cleaver at all. It is a Foster Bros beef splitter. Before bandsaws were used in slaughter houses, these were used to convert a steer carcass into two sides of beef.

When you're holding an eight pound blade with a sixteen inch hanlde you know you can chop some meat.

I will be putting a new handle on it but it's not going to be what you would think. Of course I'll post pictures when it's finished.

I want to see pictures of your first shave with that thing!

HOLY BATMAN!!!!!!!

Man that's a big one! Has sudsy from KF seen that thing yet? I'd like to see what you do with it!

I think he has a few of these already

Great find, i would have flipped if i found that!! What place did you go to? ive been looking for a nice scrap yard in CT for a while.

I've seen one of them used, they cut through carcasses like nobody's business.

Do you hunt or anything? So you can use it.
