Cleaver is an artifact battle-axe which does +d3 to hit and +d6 damage. It is the first sacrifice weapon for Barbarians.

Cleaver, like other axes, can be [a]pplied in a direction to attempt to chop. This will, over a few turns, fell trees and destroy doors. If you attempt to chop down ([>]) then you get the message "Your Cleaver merely scratches the floor."
