The ‘intended purpose’ of the t-pin seems at odds with Lace’s use of it, and in fact, the language both she and her bio use about fighting.

The bio:

 “…Who’ll delight in causing Hornet’s swift, skewered demise.” 

Lace herself:

“I’ll just skewer you here and now, pluck that flickering life right out of you.”

When a pin is used for blocking, it’s not to destroy the thing it’s working on- it’s for conforming it into a shape. When a pin is used for dissection, it’s for holding a specimen open so it can be, again, worked on.

Pharloom doesn’t seem interested in destroying or repelling enemies nearly as much as it seems interested in bringing people- forcibly if needed- into its hierarchy.

How is this interesting with Lace? Well… both she and her bio talk up the idea of a fast, efficient kill. Which contrasts both of the uses of the pin. Dissection isn’t a swift strike through the heart, nor is blocking.

The pin doesn’t seem to be a personal choice for Lace. We’re told it’s a traditional weapon, that crook shape, along with the bell, seems to be worked into the essential iconography of Pharloom and its ruling religion (the cult wear crook-symbols with the bell centered in the loop) and given the t-pin’s use in blocking, Lace seems to find the current ‘shape’ of Pharloom grotesque.
