Hi

I have a vague memory of someone singing a song which referred to a Rusty Cleaver at Hale End Folk Club many moons ago.

Has any one any knowledge of this song...this may not be the title and the cleaver in question was a euphemism.

David, the only rusty implement I can think of is a razor, in Drunken Sailor.

I couldn't think of a sensitive way of asking you how well versed in folk songs you are.
