Hi there,
I saw somebody offering a cleaver with the attached logo chiseled on it.
Anybody can recognize the brand?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

A recent Au Nain cleaver (which appears to be only offered on the German site, but the site can be translated with google translate)

That might be interesting compared to your old cleaver.

Thank you, @KingShapton! Last night I went through the .com site, but did't know about the .de version.

Please be aware what a French cleaver is being used for: going through bones, without causing splitting. It has hardly an edge to speak of. The edge is where two convex faces meet under an obtuse angle.

Got it. but yeah...I guess this cleaver has a fat choil and it is designed to break bones, split pigs heads, etc.
Exactly what I want.
