From the many images of 牛刀, I'd say "cleaver" is a poor translation. Wikip says: "A cleaver is a large knife that varies in its shape but usually resembles a rectangular-bladed hatchet.", That's not a 牛刀. |

Note on “cleaver” – this is a common loose translation of Japanese and Chinese chef’s knives, though they are not actually used as cleavers. |
