Soulcalibur VI

Butcher's Cleaver
Wielder	Hwang
Weapon type	Podao

Description: While the soldier who once used this weapon in battle may have named it after a knife, Butcher's Cleaver wasn't made for use in the kitchen. The thick, heavy blade is designed to ferociously slice through foes, but can also be used to shield against attacks. With such power, this weapon can smash through other weapons and take down opponents without fail.

However, the most terrifying aspect of this blade is that it is simple to make; since its invention, it has been widely distributed, leaving countless bodies in its wake. None know the exact extent of its destruction, nor is there any way to measure it.

Trivia

• The weapon seems to bear a resemblance to a large Butterfly Knife.
