Do any of you cleaver gurus have some history regarding the Foster Bros. and their cutlery? I've found one or two sites with a little bit of historical info (Kitchen Knife Forum- "whatshefed"), but not much. It seems to me that Foster Bros. cleavers could be partially dated by the blade stampings, i.e. the arrow and "Trade Mark", Foster Bros., Solid Steel, Fulton, blade lengths stamped by just a number ("9") or with a number code ("118", "2190", etc.). I found a link somewhere that stated that the 2190 would indicate different types of steels (2,1) in the blade (high carbon, nickel...), and the "9" would be the length. Anyone have some feedback? Thanks.
