Trivia

It is the weakest tool in the game, having the lowest tool power and slowest use time, along with a range penalty of −1. It also has the lowest DPS of any item in the game overall (especially with the Broken modifier), bested even by the infamous Copper Shortsword by a large margin. However, it does have more knockback than the Copper Shortsword.
