Raincrowe - nice cleaver ...

Greaves and Sons were known for table cutlery, razors and well known for their Bowie knives - the latter were some of the earliest made in 1830s-40s..

Raincrowe, that’s an old beauty! I love the patina on the handle. It was built to last, and so it has.
I wonder if you’ve noticed the section titled ‘In The Kitchen’. Perhaps if you posted there as well, you might find a cleaver collector lurking around who has more info.
Btw, cool wheel too!
