Pretty good story, thanks grepper. I live in an area that has some national recognition for bbq and have been accused of being vegetarian more than once, but I only eat wild game that I harvest or particular meat from from certain farms or butchers.
The clever is in this world is as you said, a chopper. There are some thin slicing clovers that will go through an orange like Grant through Richmond, but for the most part they're just hack and chop, heavy, axe like kitchen tools. Sometimes called splitters or lamb splinters. Some are big thick chef knife types and others have room for two hands and as long as 4'.
Meat cleavers are the only kitchen knife I sharpen convex. Always edge leading into a belt of course, (sorry guys) I know how bad that must sound.
True butcher shops rarely ever use a clever. Mainly for bbq places that want to serve chopped meat.
I've also got a clever to restore., I'll share some pics as soon as it's under way.
