butcher's knife
Professional cutting tool
A butcher's knife is a large, heavy knife designed for cutting meat, typically with a broad blade that curves to a point.
The weight and size allow butchers to cut through joints, cartilage, and thick cuts with control.
Distinguished from a cleaver by its pointed tip and from a chef's knife by its heftier build: He reached for the butcher's knife to break down the whole chicken.
