Insanely thick Theater made? Cleaver

Anybody has something like this?

 

Did you intend to post a photo? Nothing seems to be attached.

Is this it?

no choil shot?

 

Grinding on the choil looks crude, unfinished.

 

That's a chunk of steel for sure. Looks like a good ole meat cleaver. I have seen plenty of cleavers like it, but I lean towards a Beatty.

 

part of me really thinks i need to come up with a meat cleaver option with moderen steel (or really eve old school would work ) do a small batch and run with it

 

that is a brute

 

I keep thinking it may be a shop made lambsplitter or a regrind of another big splitter. The handle is where it gets really odd.

 

You should put that lathe to use and turn a Beatty style handle for it.
