A Meat Cleaver is a tool used for chopping meat. After the outbreak, some survivors use it as a weapon against walkers.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Meat cleavers were often used by places such as butcher shops to chop up meat.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Tales of the Walking Dead[]
Sandra uses a meat cleaver to murder the men that enter her bunker.
Sandra tries to kill Joe with her meat cleaver, but the crystal that Evie gave him deflects the blow. As a result, Sandra removes the crystal before trying again, but she is interrupted by the arrival of Evie looking Joe. During a fight with Sandra, Evie takes the cleaver from her and then uses it to free Joe. When Sandra attacks them both again, Joe kills the deranged woman by throwing Sandra's own meat cleaver into her chest. Sandra subsequently reanimates, but Joe and Evie manage to escape from the bunker unharmed.

During Lee's attack on the Marsh House in order to rescue Clementine, Lee uses his meat cleaver to fight his way through a massive herd of walkers, getting increasingly splashed with their blood until the walkers begin ignoring him. Lee is forced to disarm himself by the Stranger, but he can signal Clementine to pick up the meat cleaver and use it against the man. (Determinant) After the Stranger's death, Lee shoots a walker and then uses his meat cleaver to cut open the walker and cover Clementine in walker guts. The meat cleaver is subsequently abandoned at the Marsh House.
