Built with remarkable craftsmanship, this 8 1/2" long athame is perfect for your altar. Its 3 1/2 blade is double edged and made of hammered steel in which you can see the rippling effect of layer upon layer of heated metal being smelted together. Except for the small, 1 1/2" metal cross guard, its 5" long handle is carved expertly of horn, and rests comfortably in your hand. Coming with a leather sheath that can be hung upon your belt, this Athame is perfect for those rituals in your wooded meadow as well as those you hold on your altar at home.

The athame's primary use is for ritual and magical purposes only, to direct energy; if things such as herbs or cords need to be cut, another knife called a boline - a white-handled knife - is used. An exception is the "kitchen witchcraft" philosophy, which encourages the everyday use of magical tools to increase the witch's familiarity with them.
