A late 19th century butcher’s chopper with a wide curved blade and a solid wooden handle fixed with large brass rivets. Designed for heavy-duty use, the squared open-frame design gave the butcher more control over larger joints of meat. Signs of historic use across the metal and wood add to the overall character of the piece.
