We found this in a hardware store in Marrakech while we were looking for a juicer. I don't know what you would cleave with this thing. It was all one piece of metal, and looked more like something out of a low-budget Tolkein ripoff than a kitchen implement.
UPDATE [July 15]: According to one of my friends on Facebook, this implement is used to cleave meat with bones. Given the weight, I can see that.
"I don't know what you would cleave with this thing"
Pretty much anything you want to... at least until the SWAT team arrive!
Did Tony shave his head just for this pic?
Nope. My head was shaved for totally different reasons.
