Thread: Cleaver or Knife?

Tweet

Hi Folks,

Well, I changed my mind...I found this antique, very-used, Dexter meat cleaver (it must weigh over a pound!) at an antique store in Micanopy, FL and HAD to have it and I decided to use it in place of the long knife I originally used for this prop. So, what do you think...a better choice??





I just posted these at my Forum page and Photobucket site.

Take sCare,

The cleaver is a good choice. Very nice!

Both look really good . I just hope that your TOT'ers have NO way of getting to them.

I like it!

Add a little deep red to the center of your hand's bones. It will make it look more realistic, since bones aren't solid.

I think I prefer the clever.

I'd go with the cleaver as well.

cleaver is the best, for sure...

Certainly the cleaver. I use it occasionally (for chicken!) and it still intimidates me.

I think the cleaver is more suited for the scene. I mean, who uses a knife to chop off a hand?! You use knives for stabbing and gutting. It's all about the right tool for the right job and knife just doesn't say "chopped off limb" to me. Ya know?

Definitely the cleaver.

Absolutely the cleaver.
