A meat cleaver is a bladed instrument used for chopping up food. Unlike a knife, a meat cleaver does not have a tapered point, but rather has a rectangular blade with a single straight edge. Its design is specifically for chopping and not slicing or stabbing. The density of the blade makes it ideal for cutting up pieces of food that are otherwise too tough for other instruments, including meat that might have small pieces of bone or cartilage, or thick strands of fat.
