When my grandmother died, this was about the only thing left for me after the scavengers got thru. It is great! The metal handle of this weighs about 8 oz & breaks ice that has refrozen together with ease. New 1's won't do that. Used it in my club in Jamaica where we had to get 50 lb blocks for the cooler. Still have it & still use it.
Anybody ever seen these heavy things?
