Bronze Victorian Cleaver 175mm

The newest, largest, and boldest in artist Tai Goo’s exploration of the Neo-Victorian Cleaver style is exquisite in every way. From the hand-forged blade’s 87mmhigh height where a traditional hanging hole (handcrafted ‘S-hook’ for mounting included) is seen, to the turned bronze ferrule at the front of the handle, to the bronze ring and crowned iron dome at the handle’s rear, Tai’s attention to detail and overall fit-and-finish are nothing short of superb. The knife’s weight, balance, and 5160 carbon steel edge geometry ensure it will move through objects with precision. The blade’s spine and front face are faceted at the edges to soften both look and feel, while the dark, forge-textured flats give way to beautifully hand-sanded, convex bevels with a sharp, hard edge below. Ebonized maple is masterfully turned on a lathe creating a handle that is as comfortable as it is unique. From the striking lines of the tool finished form to the feeling of power in the hand, this talented craftsman and blacksmith delivers another heirloom tool designed for function, durability, and undeniable aesthetic allure.
