The ultimate tool for all tasks that place high demands on the sturdiness and power of the knife: the Cleaver makes the cutting of ribs, racks, bones and also extremely hard-skinned fruit - such as coconuts - easy. The large flat of the blade, together with its strength and rigidity, make for easier and fatigue-free prepping. Another knife for coarser tasks, which can also be used for cutting, is the Butchers Knife.
