That’s a good bone chopper there. Can process a whole side of pork with that, no saw required.

NICE FIND, THAT'LL SERVE YOU WELL! I HAD ONE THAT'D BEEN HANDED DOWN IN MY FAMILY FOR OVER A CENTURY. HAD SOME ELECTRICAL WORK DONE IN MY GARAGE AND IT LATER CAME UP MISSING. BEST PZZA CUTTER EVER, I HOPE THE KID THAT BAGGED IT WHACKS OFF A FEW FINGERS, F-ING POS!

Old knives, pans, etc are soooo much better. Bet that will look sweet when cleaned up

We have one much like it. Ours is also very old. It was used in the grocery store by my wife's relatives, back when, in the old China town section of Watsonville. The stamp shows Buffalo, NY, 1887.

We just had it "sharpened" by one of those folks in a tent outside the local grocery store. $10. They didn't do a very good job. We'll need to find someone who can put a proper edge on it and not just run it through a few passes on 1" belt sander.
