The Meat Cleaver Blade is the bare steel head of a Meat Cleaver, with no handle fitted. It is a Blacksmithing part.
Fitting a Small Handle with the Assemble Bladed Item recipe turns it back into a working Meat Cleaver. A smith can also rework the steel into other blades at a forge. Forge Large Knife Blade, Forge Long Simple Blade and Forge Hunting Knife Blade all accept it. The blade can be sharpened like any edged tool.
The blade comes from taking a Meat Cleaver apart with Dismantle Bladed Item, or from the Forge Meat Cleaver Blade recipe. Research Craft on it teaches Forge Simple Blade and Forge Fleshing Tool. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Assemble Bladed Item fits the blade to a Small Handle. A hammer, club hammer or mallet does the work and is kept. The recipe needs Maintenance level 1 and gives a Meat Cleaver.
At the forge, the blade stands in for a steel bar. Forge Long Simple Blade takes it with two charcoal at a Primitive or better Forge and Blacksmithing level 3. It gives a Long Simple Metal Blade. Forge Large Knife Blade needs a Simple or better Forge and Blacksmithing level 4. Forge Spear Head turns it into a Metal Spearhead at an Advanced Forge with Blacksmithing level 4. Forge Hunting Knife Blade needs an Advanced Forge and Blacksmithing level 5.
Each forge recipe also needs a hammer and metalworking pliers or tongs, which are kept.
A spare blade can also go into an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Steel From Medium Steel Item gives two Steel Chunk.
The edge dulls with use. Sharpen Blade, Sharpen Blade Poorly with File and Sharpen Blade with Grindstone restore it.

Locations
The loose blade is a rare find. It only appears in the knife factory, where the general containers hold one now and then. Taking apart a Meat Cleaver is a far easier way to get one.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Knife factory | Other | 10% |
Notes
- Research Craft teaches Forge Simple Blade and Forge Fleshing Tool.
- A fleshing tool is needed to scrape fur off hides, so this blade opens up leatherwork.
- A dull blade can be sharpened before a handle goes on.
- Taking a cleaver apart and reforging the blade turns kitchen steel into weapon parts.
