Prehistoric meat cleavers?
Meat cleavers actually originated way back in pre-historic times, and it is believed that our stonge-aged ancestors used meat cleavers in much the same way as we use meat cleavers today. To cleave is to break apart or split, especially along the grain, using a sharp blow. In food preparation, meat cleavers are used chop and break apart meat. Meat cleavers are best for carcass and sectional cutting work on chops and chickens, and meat cleavers are excellent on small bones.
Caring for meat cleavers
