My mother had exactly the same cleaver. She used it to chop spinach.
It came with a wooden board that was oddly shaped, being higher on
one side than the other, with a ridge only on one side to hold the spinach.
This was in The Netherlands just after WWII. I don't know how long
she had it. Could have been pretty old. She was born in the year 1900.
