SVOCS28: Carcass Splitter

Svord

The Carcass Splitter has an 11" blade, overall length of 28.75" and is made from one piece of 7mm thick 8670-grade high carbon steel. The blade has had a hand applied differential temper, with the cutting edge at 58 Rockwell C and the spine and handle at 45-48 Rockwell C (spring temper). The handle is black matte finish Micarta, and it has been riveted using 0.25" diameter solid copper pins which have been hand peened. The scabbard is made from vegetable tanned hand-stitched Italian leather. The Carcass Splitter is a traditional tool of the village butcher and is used to cut a hanging carcass in half. Hand made in Waiuku New Zealand by Master Cutler Bryan Baker.

Tough hugest of blades
This one came with zero annoying surprises. It's not awkward, too heavy or disappointing in any regard. It's a good purchase, especially if one is intent. I had wanted one for a long time and scrimpt and saved for it. Svord are good people and so are KnifeCenter.. there is scale and color left after the differential hardening but it's not greasy and messy. It's not highly polished, but it's a work of art in function. I can't shave hair with the edge, but it's got an honest, working edge. The mask is good/ solid. It's overall a serious piece of equipment. There's no drawbacks.

Monstrous cleaver heavy and solid you wouldn't think this has any uses. You would be wrong if you hunt large game and butcher your own meat this is an incredible tool. one good hit and cleanly remove whole sides of ribs then turn around and cut large strips. So much easier than any kind of saw. Cuts straight through anything but the largest bones. I butchered a 1500 lb. moose a couple months ago and this thing saved so much time and effort without leaving behind small bone savings everywhere.
