TECHNIQUES OF IRONWORK.

Architectural ironwork is of two basic types, wrought and cast, distinguished both by the waythey are formed and the type of iron of which they are made. Wrought iron, the more ancient, is hand forged, while cast iron, a later development, is mass produced from molds.

CLASSICAL CLEAVER KNIVES. FROM THE LEFT- BUTCHER'S CLEAVER. FROM THE LIGHT - VEGETABLE.

The Cleaver Knives are well- known as a butcher's knife, the cleaver is characterized by its wide bladeand tough edgethat can chop through thick and strong substance.

However, it is important to note, that these knives are usually used for chopping meat and cutting vegetablesat the same time, and have a unified blade shape. But, initially, these cleavers were designed in two types:for meat and for vegetables separately. The photos below show three main types of knives: bone chopper classic; bone chopper Dao; bone chopper Serbian. 

DECORATIVE SKEWERS.

These skewers are made of traditional materials such as stainless steel for blades, valuable wood species for handles, cast bronze for decorative parts of the tool. The case is made of genuineleather combined with brass rivets.
