cleaver
Butcher's broad blade
A cleaver is a large, heavy knife with a broad rectangular blade, used for chopping through meat and bone: The butcher brought the cleaver down on the joint.
The weight of the blade does most of the work, making it effective for cutting through tough material that would dull a thinner knife. (Capitalized Cleaver is a surname.)
