F Dick No. 95 9″ Cleaver Hand Forged Carbon Steel Custom Walnut & Stag Germany 1950s 60s?

Custom handled F Dick no 95 9″ cleaver with custom walnut, black and red vulcanized rubber spacers and stag pommel. 

Cleaver looks to be hand forged with tapering tang, I am hazarding a guess at 1950s or 60s manufacture, before the custom handle was put on obviously, this is newer. 

Blade has been sharpened down a bit and has been shaped into a more steeply curved profile than original. 

This is a beast of a cleaver bordering on what might be called a hogsplitter (2 handed) cleaver. 

Total Length: 17.5″

Edge Length: 9.25″

Handle: 8.75″
