After opening a small tool shop in Michigan, the brothers moved there business to Buffalo, which was a national center of innovation in its heyday as “The City of Lights.” Among other things, the brothers received a patent for a process that revolutionized the way ice skates were fastened together. Ironically, the L\u0026amp;I J White Company was located at the site where the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres Arena stands today.   \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Americana: Practical Artifacts from the Golden Age of Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt New West KnifeWorks, we value the ancient tradition of knife-making even as we forge new paths of innovative glory. Our refurbished cleavers come from an era where extraordinary steel was extremely cheap. To make cleavers of this mass and quality of steel today would be prohibitively expensive to produce from scratch. But our makers search out these diamonds in the rough at old antique shows, flea markets or grandma’s garage, refurbishing the blades and handles to give them a new, improved life in the 21st Century.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/blogs\/news\/refurbished-cleavers-remaking-yesterday-s-american-made-for-today\" title=\"American Made Antique Cleaver Restoration New West KnifeWorks\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/blogs\/news\/refurbished-cleavers-remaking-yesterday-s-american-made-for-today\"\u003eRead more about our cleaver restoration process.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/blogs\/news\/refurbished-cleavers-remaking-yesterday-s-american-made-for-today\" title=\"Antique Cleaver Restoration New West KnifeWorks\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/blogs\/news\/refurbished-cleavers-remaking-yesterday-s-american-made-for-today\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/5578\/4988\/files\/IMG_7912.jpg?v=1587585392\" alt=\"Antique Cleaver Restoration New West KnifeWorks\" width=\"354\" height=\"472\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/5578\/4988\/files\/IMG_7912.jpg?v=1587585392\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the Press\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Next Level.” Bloomberg\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Knife Art.\" Fine Cooking\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"America’s Best.\" Cooking Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New West Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47518016536851,"sku":"NW-CLE-LOR-1023","price":2099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1187\/6627\/products\/Cleaver_S-29_Front.jpg?v=1699403728","url":"https:\/\/nwkw-redesign-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/l-ij-white-14-hog-splitter-s29","provider":"NWKW Redesign Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
