I can't remember the name of it but I haven't seen one in awhile. I was just wandering if it was worther using. All I know is that it looks hella cool compared to the powerhammer and scythe. Thanks!

Here are typical swords on my server:
Two-Handed Axe, 3.7 Kinetic 134-195 33.2%, +11 +11 +11, 50 22 17
Two-Handed Cleaver, 3.3 Kinetic 102-224 45.3%, -1 -1 +0, 50 47 30
Two Handed Cleaver, 3.2 Kinetic 108-231 47.2%, -8 -8 -8, 50 47 30 *patch 7 temporary craft changes schematic*
Two-Handed Curved Sword, 2.5 Kinetic 62-248 39.4%, +13 +13 +14, 29 61 34
Two Handed Curved Sword, 2.5 Kinetic 66-252 40.6%, +8 +8 +8, 30 63 35 *patch 7 temporary craft changes schematic*
Two Handed Curved Sword, 2.5 Kinetic 66-254 40.7%, +8 +8 +8, 30 63 35 *patch 7 temporary craft changes schematic*
As you can see, the cleaver isn't really worth anything compared to a scythe (same damage type). Actually, I prefer the axe over the cleaver...but I agree, the cleaver definitly looks cool and feels really starwarsy to me.

I've been using a cleaver for about a week now. It's not great, but it's nice having tighter damage range than you'd have when using a curved sword. In other words I prefer seeing 250-550 instead of 150-650. Not to mention it looks way cooler than those stupid katanas 
It'll get shelved whenever I get some yellow cubes to finish my scythe, though. I kinda-sorta RP my character and really really dislike the Power Hammers so I have yet to buy one. I think they should just move the stats on the hammers over to the cleavers and get rid of hammers entirely. That way we'd have a good fast sword (2h Curved), a big slow lumbering sword (Cleaver), and then a happy-medium (scythe).

"I think they should just move the stats on the hammers over to the cleavers and get rid of hammers entirely."
very, very bad suggestion jabberwhacky. many people like the hammer, and find many uses for it, anyways, i dont see a sword (of any sort) dealing blast damage anytime soon, so if you dont want the hammer, dont use it, but dont reccomend getting rid of it from game completely, as it would hinder swordsman down to one damage type, untill the devs start working more weapons into the game for melee fighters (and at the rate the devs are going it could be about four months to four years, but who knows) and the hammer is a savior in pve because of it's heavy damage, and it's damage type (blast) is not a common protection, but kenitic is. anyways there are lots of people that like the powerhammer, and there are more people that see "swordsman" as a two handed melee weapon weilder, and thus is why you see the three different axes, the one hammer, and three different swords to use (even if the scythe is quite rare).
