Pohutukawa Wrought Iron Clad Meat Cleaver
The cutting edge and up through the centre is 3 layers of high carbon steel, 1084 and 15n20, the outer 2 having some nickel in the alloy. Outside that is a cladding layer of wrought iron salvaged from a demolished Wellington wharf, that's where a lot of the pattern is that you see in the steel. I forge welded it all into a billet to create this wrought iron clad, full tang, integral cleaver.
The handle is carved from pohutukawa which once grew in Wellington, stabilised for added durability.
This cleaver comes with its own benchtop display stand made from rebar and pohutukawa to match the handle.
Comes with its own signed Certificate of Authenticity.
