This beautifully preserved antique cleaver comes from Southern Italy near Calabria. It was made in a shape that is consistent with older cleavers seen in Italy over the years, most of which were made not in any factory but some sort of general zoomorphic form. The handle scales of this piece appear to be walnut, copper-riveted over a full tang, all rock solid and tight with no problems of any kind. In every respect a truly great find for chef or folk-art lover and an instant heirloom for user and collector alike. Weighs 1 pound 1.05 ounces. 13.5 inches long, 5.5 inches

at the blade.
