Template:Infobox tool The Meat Cleaver (formerly known as butcher knife) is a blade-like tool usually used by butchers to cut slabs of meat into smaller pieces. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it is used as a melee weapon. Like other melee weapons in the game, the meat cleaver can damage cars and people and can leave the victim bleeding, leaving a trail of blood drops on the ground.
