1. 1剁刀、砍骨刀(西式厚重砍肉刀;和家裡那把菜刀不完全一樣)

    A cleaver is a heavy kitchen knife with a wide blade, made for chopping through big pieces of meat and sometimes bone. You bring it down with weight, not with a long slicing motion. Butchers use cleavers; some home cooks keep a smaller one. Though actually, the 菜刀 in many Taiwan kitchens is a cousin of the idea — a broad chopping knife — but a Western cleaver is often heavier, and more about breaking down meat than about everyday slicing. The word comes from an old verb meaning to split. It was also once a job-name for someone who split wood. It has nothing to do with clever, which only looks a little like it.

組成From Middle English clevere, the same as cleave (to split) + -er (a tool, or a person, that does it). It was also an old job-name for someone who split wood.
