Vintage Wear-Ever Professional meat cleaver 69407C 6.5" carbon steel blade USA

Description

Seller admits that he tends toward nostalgia and romanticism, and it is with that trait that he regards this
vintage Wear-Ever Professional meat cleaver 69407C, with 6.5" carbon steel blade, made in USA.
It carries all the beauty of character, and everything about it says quality: the solid rosewood handle grips, the full tang, carbon steel blade, its balance, heft and substantialness, with a shank 1/8 inch+ (4 mm) thick and a weight of just over one pound (16.4 ounces). This is an older cleaver, one whose good steel has been used and sharpened many times, and so the
Wear-Ever
logo and product number is nearly completely worn off
(see photo) to only its ghostly outlines. Needless to say, the blade shows the cloudy gray staining characteristic of carbon steel, yet the cleaver and its riveted grips are in very good condition, and show an admirable durability. This is the tool you want if you are going to chop up smoked pork for BBQ or halve chickens for the fundraising picnic. Seller says he doesn't know what would or could wear it out or make it quit.
Please see all photos, using zoom magnification as desired, as the photos complete the description of this awesome cleaver. To be shipped
