The Meat Cleaver is a large knife purposed primarily for butchers to cut slabs of meat into thinner slices. It can be used as a melee weapon. It was cut from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Like other melee weapons in the game, the Meat Cleaver can damage cars and people, leaving the victim bleeding, with a trail of blood dropping on the ground.
Statistic-wise, it appears to be identical to the Machete in terms of damage, but has a slightly lower range.
