Thanks to its large, thick and heavy grain, the meat axe is good for chopping meat, including cutting bones. While it is not worth doing "chopping" or so-called impact movements with Japanese knives, then the meat axe is meant to be cut.

At the same time, the use of a meat grinder requires a skillful hand and an accurate eye, because a failed or skewed blow against a hard bone can still damage the blade. In the upper corner of the blade of the meat grinder there is often a hole that facilitates hanging.

The massive blade is 4 mm thick and made of stainless steel. The handle is made of wood.
