L&IJ White, No. 8 Meat Cleaver
Cleaver is the nicest example I've seen and have the pleasure of owning. Full tang and brass riveted handle made from what looks like white oak or possibly hickory. The stamp is immaculate, well placed and deeply imbedded. There are no cracks or repairs to the handle. The top of the blade does show a few dents, (See Photos) and the edges still have the factory grind marks. The cleaver and handle have been throughly cleaned and polished. The cutting edge has no chips, dents or cracks. These heavy cleavers when sharpened should be handled with extreme care.

If dropped can inflict serious bodily injury. This fine example of an L&IJ White No. 8 cleaver is a historic piece of cutlery from a bygone era and an heirloom you can be proud to show and pass down.

By 1843, they were located in Black Rock, a Buffalo suburb. The company made a large assortment of edged tools, axes, and planes. In 1859, "Butchers' Cleavers and Knives" were included in a listing of the firm's products. An 1867 fire destroyed the factory.

The firm incorporated as L. The company showcased its products at the 1889 Paris Exhibition, 1902 Pan American Exposition, and the 1904 St. An early 20th century product list includes cleavers.
