That's a "lamb splitter". Used by a butcher when breaking down whole lambs and pigs.

A longer hilt allows you to attack your meat from a longer distance, keeping you safe.

This is also why Donatello is the best Ninja Turtle, as he has the longest weapon which provides both offense and defense.

...or beef. The website calls this a "beef splitter"

Poo in loos that want a unique look for their roadside food dispensaries.

But Why is there so much fucking handle

that isnt even that impressive, my paring knife was folded over a thousand times and could easily cut though that over compensation

Leverage.

I've never heard of something like that being used for beef...the carcass is just too large for it to be practical.

These days they are rarely used; the bandsaw would be much more common.

no different than a sledge hammer, user:

1) so you can use two hands.
2) longer handle means the weight of the blade is farther out. Thus it delivers a more powerful blow.

...why isn't that obvious? This isn't a dainty little sushi knife. It's for splitting large animal carcasses in half, specifically the bones in the pelvis.

the longer handle gives 1d6 instead of 1d4 slashing damage.

Go back to 1d4chan

Why not just use a clean axe?

troll or stupid? you need the longer blade

The cleaver practically is an axe.

Sure, an axe could work. Hunters do that in the field when processing game.

But ideally you'd have a longer cutting edge on the blade.

>Bankai.

Beats me OP but I fucking want one now

use to split the spine when butchering beef. Literally chopping the animal in half lengthwise

For peeling grapes

>34 inch OAL

That's a battle cleaver.

Op here.
So do I, I would love to hang that above my stove.

I have one of those in my collection. Except mine is a little shorter in the handle and wider in the blade.

Gonna have to agree with this user.

I have no real use for that, yet I want it so bad nevertheless.

I forget what the word is but it's a counterweight.

How long is that? It looks a lot smaller than OP, given the BIC lighter and nuts.
Neat cleaver, though. Do you ever use it, or just for decoration?

Who doesn't need a bardiche.

I'm surprised someone on Ironchef never came up with an excuse to break one out just for the showmanship.

>counterweight
technically, no. when you use it, you hold your lower hand almost at the end, so there is no counterweight in action. but the leverage of the blade will get you more power on your chop

It is several inches smaller. I think it's overall 26 inches. Still a hefty splitter. I have a small collection of antique cleavers that just hang out and a couple modern ones that actually get use.

For showing off.

Brutal.

Christ im jealous, awesome stuff user

that pretty fucking awesome man

I call OP's mom a beef splitter.

are you an orc

top kek

Do you need 24 strength to wold this thing?

>all dif' choppa but no dem' stabba
What are ya' a git?

bump

gives you +50 range and +26 Strength

older ones had huge heavy blades, you need that to cut the ribs along the spine and the pelvis, splitting the ribcage is not too tough, but if you are processing any number other than a few you really appreciate the leverage or weight.

Underrated.
