(butcher's) cleaver


Explanation:
Total guess here:
A cleaver is a large knife that varies in its shape but usually resembles a rectangular-bladed hatchet. It is largely used as a kitchen or butcher knife intended for hacking through bone.

I have one at home, and I just call it a chopper, but cleaver is the proper name for it.
So, the source sentence could be "...cutting tools such as knives, honing steels, cleavers and sharpeners ..."

Notes to answerer
Asker: I am sorry I incorrectly selected your answer when I meant to select the other one. I have been told that the only way to rectify this is if you agree to submit a support request asking for the answer to be ungraded. I apologise for this, my only explanation is that I am homeschooling my children and was distracted. I will leave it to you to decide.

As Phil has already said "bauchas" is probably an error and does not exist in the DRAE.

Translate "honing steel" to Spanish: chaira
English Synonyms of "honing steel": butcher's steel, chef's steel, sharpening rod, sharpening steel, sharpening stick


The only thing I can think of, given your context of "knives, sharpening rods (or whatever term you've settled on), "bauchas" (sic), ... are types of: choppers (cleavers) / handsaws / hooks
