Named for the witch flag my grandmother “Great-Great” used to fly in her kitchen when she didn't want to be bothered by her four children, use this hefty blade for breaking down large cuts, frozen food, woody stems or use simply hang it in plain sight when you need a little peace and quiet. Forge texture finish contrasts the satin polish of the bone breaking convex edge. Traditionally punched hole for hanging. Not sure what’s more impressive, the large example of beautiful ash burl or the heft.
