A meat cleaver is a tool used in cooking and a one-handed short blade weapon dealing slash damage.

Usage

As a cooking utensil it is mostly used for butchering and slicing food.

Weapon

It is a one-handed short weapon that deals slash damage. It has a long swing time and low critical chance.

Breaking doors

It is decent at bashing down doors, dealing 20 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Tree chopping

It is decent at tree chopping, dealing 15 damage per hit, comparable with the Hand Axe. It does not have a cut down tree action so trees need to be attacked.
