the putrescent knight uses a 2 handed mezzaluna made of putrescence as the binding material and assorted bones melded into the blade, much like rotten teeth in a leather whip. mezzalunas are often used in cooking for chopping herbs but are also used to chop meat.
the mezzaluna is not unlike a drawing knife which are used for woodworking and tanning. the cleaver has often reminded me of tanning tools, like a fleshing knife.
among various pictures of crafting knives, i'm reminded of the design of the butchering knife, which is in the design of "blacksmith tools" like the last picture, modelled after norse bog finds.
bonny is near the forge where misbegotten are rioting. if bonny is a village where clay jars are manufactured, they require kilns to fire them in. there's another intersection of smithing and jarring. the bonny butcher knife isn't using the term "butcher" to mean shocking and frightening violent acts but literal butchering, processing meat.
"Four-toed foot of a fowl, pickled in a golden medicinal solution. Craftable item.
Boosts the amount of runes obtained from defeating enemies for a certain duration.
Since old times, the needy would scrape the meat clean even from a fowl's claw."
butchering is not a not-scary thing, but it is a normal thing regardless. kegare trades included tanners and butchers. this is why i call jar lore vegetarian horror. the fact this butcher put on gloves and a hair net speaks to the evil he knows he must be doing that he requries ppe.
so you're butchering whatever you are butchering for food. you skin it. you have animal skins, so you tan them for the hides. why is the geq + godskins neglected in sote perception?
there is an explicit intersection of "food" and "burial" because the shaman were cannibals and remain so to this very day
