Here is a pattern welded Chinese style cleaver, this is one of the more difficult forgings I have made and it really pushed the limits of myself and my tools.
Welcome back John That Cleaver is a beast, whats the grind? I think I can see a convex and a hollow then a convex again but it could be the pattern playing with me.
The grind is distal taper with a half height flat ish grind. The spine at the heel is 1/8 inch thick with about 5mm of belly from heel to mid point and from mid point to tip. The grind is modeled after the Sugimoto #6.
