Ritual Knife (Honed)

Ritual Knife (Honed) is a narrow blackened ritual knife, honed for clean material cuts rather than theatrical bloodletting. The grip is rayhide over a grounded tang; the spine carries measurement nicks for cord, wax, and shallow inscription depth. It cuts flesh perfectly well, which is why berth law does not care that the clerk calls it ceremonial. The blade's real value is consistency: no ragged foil, crushed herb stems, or contaminated edge wandering through a careful working. At 320 credits, it is cheaper than repairing one ritual spoiled by a kitchen knife. The listed 320 credits covers the item as shown, not bespoke consecration, licensing, or the clerk's suddenly expensive professional concern.
