I present to you the "Shipyard" Cleaver.  Handmade from AEBL Stainless steel with a phenominal heat treat found only here at Pirate Forge.  This cleaver is designed just as that... to Chop and do real cleaver work...  Big bones, frozen food, or even firewood (im not joking)... the geometry is built for that... Yes it can chopp potatoes or other veggies but a culinary blade with fine geometry would be better suited for such tasks. The blade features full flat grinds, engraved shipwreck grail mark (skull and bones over a ship anchor), satin finish, and a razor sharp polished edge.  Now lets talk about the handle... This is where it gets special. It is made from Vintage Westinghouse LE Micarta that was sourced from an old shipyard in Louisiana. The Avondale Shipyard to be exact.  Westinghouse is well known for making the highest quality of micarta known to man starting back in the 1920's!  This Westinghouse Micarta is also special because its "LE" Micarta!  LE Micarta was specially made for marine use applications.  WEstinghouse no longer makes micarta.  There is only a limited amount of this stuff left in the world. It is highly desired and not cheap when you find some for sale.  I was able to obtain a good bit of this exclusive material to be used here at the Forge.  The handle material being around 100 years old has visible dark oxidation spots just adding to the mystic. This handle has the best oxidation colors ive ever seen. The LE Micarta is paired with a set of stainless corby bolts.   Price is for Cleaver only.  If you would like to have a custom sheath made for this please contact me after purchase. Pricing would vary for sheath type... for example kydex, hybrid, leather, etc.
