Ritual Tools: let's talk about knives for a bit.
If you are Wiccan, you know what an Athame is, if you aren't Wiccan but practice witchcraft, you probably still know. These are not the only ritual knives of Wicca, however.
The Athame
Generally black handled and double edged, though both of these aspects can vary by tradition. The Athame is a knife meant to cut energies. not anything physical, so it commonly is not a sharpened blade, though it can be.
This is the primary knife of a Wiccan altar, carrying the position of most import when it comes to actual magic.
The Bolene
The Sickle, the herbalist working knife. These are commonly found with a ungainly crescent moon shape stylized to look more "witchy", but thst isn't a necessity. The traditional bolene is a small sickle, with a deeply curved blade for cutting a handful of herbs cleanly and with precision. This knife commonly features a plain wooden handle, though white has become increasingly popular.
this is commonly considered the working knife of an altar set, but is poorly suited for most tasks beyond its designed purpose.
The Kirfane
What? Never heard of it? That isn't surprising because it isn't a commonly considered tool anymore, but it should be.
The Kirfane is the true "white handled knife". Commonly consisting of a single edged blade, twice the length of a white or bone handle. this is the belt knife, the chopper, scriber, slicer, and general purpose do it all knife of the Wiccan.
It isn't commonly mentioned, but its the knife everyone should have. it does all of the mundane, physical jobs that are required. I personally consider this to be more important than the athame for the average covener, its the workhorse.
Let's hear what people have and use. I'm always up for a good tool discussion.
