This horse is the "White Unicorn" of all Zoomorphic Cleavers. I saw this for sale several times at auctions, then it disappeared for over a year, then re-surfaced on an antique website, and after pursuing
this for several years I finally acquired this one of a kind, never seen before cleaver/knife combination from an artisan in England. The 100 plus, year
old cleaver is a one of a kind product of the unique imagination of the craftsman. This is the only one like it I have ever seen in my years of collecting Zoomorphic cleavers. This was made by an artisan blacksmith in England in the Cornwall region.
