Explanation
อีโต้ refers to a heavy chopping blade, not a fine slicing knife. It is used for chopping meat, bone-in cuts, fish, and other tough ingredients. It can be used by itself, or more explicitly as มีดอีโต้. As a bladed tool, it is counted with the classifier เล่ม.
Usage
You will hear this word in markets, butcher shops, and kitchens when people talk about chopping meat or bone-in ingredients. In crime or conflict contexts, it can refer to a dangerous weapon.
Caution
Do not treat it as just any kitchen knife. Compared with มีด or มีดทำครัว, อีโต้ suggests a larger, heavier, more dangerous blade, especially if mentioned in relation to people or violence.
