Bone cleaver rehab

[dwalker]

I received an old bone cleaver for Christmas and decided to spruce it up a bit. It had a terrible profile from years of bad sharpening and an ugly oversized handle. I wanted to make sure it was worth the effort so I chopped a 4×4 in half twice. It showed no damage and was still pretty sharp so I decided to give it a go. I thought you guys might be interested.

I ditched the handle, re-profiled the edge and ground it 90%.

Glass bead blast and refinishing.

Finished up the grind.

Now all it needs is sharpening .

Nice work on the rehab. I might even be inspired to try and force a deep patina on a blade or two.

Thanks, I am not setup for westerns like this. Wa handles are my specialty, I really appreciate the consideration and would love to work with you on a different project.

Thanks. I'm sure we can work together on something else.
