Butcher's Clever with sword handle
Used in Napolean's army.
The sword handle was probably a replacement,
used instead of a regular handle because
no other was available.
It was later found in a Wisconsin
blacksmith's trash pail.
The rescuer brought it home and his
wife used it to cut kindling. (Early 1800's.)
It travelled with them to Washington [state]
and back, when it got its real workout
chopping wood (1930's).
