A cleaver is a large, heavy knife with a broad, rectangular blade that is used primarily for chopping and cutting through tough or dense materials, such as meat, bones, and cartilage. It typically features a thick, durable blade with a sharp edge and a sturdy handle for leverage and control. Cleavers come in various sizes and styles, with some having a straight edge and others featuring a slightly curved or tapered blade. They are commonly used in professional kitchens, butcher shops, and Asian cuisines for tasks such as breaking down large cuts of meat, splitting poultry, and mincing or tenderizing tough cuts.
