Plus, it's going to look great on her driving licence ... not to mention causing all sorts of fun at customs.

I know this is an old topic but would you or anyone else here extend this to say that larger cleavers which might be used by e.g. The Butcher from Diablo http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Butcher%27s_Cleaver

would be about like a Dao?

It's a two-handed cleaver, right? Either a Dao or Large Falchion would probably work.

I had a conversation much like this with my husband while looking at some knives on display in the grocery store, especially the huge 4" wide butcher knife. He thought it was a little excessive for a knife, I thought it was sort of a stabby cleaver. Both of us thought it was silly to try and sell at a grocery store that only sells fully dressed carcases, and not many of those either.

Well real butchers knife with the weighted end, french chefs knife or a basic Chinese chef knife(which looks a lot like a cleaver)?

For a character I would say something like a small Falchion cheap with a penalty to use, the penalty bought off with improvised weapons perk.
