Lore

Butcher's knife with an oddly large blade wielded by the madwoman haunting the Road of Sacrifices.

Squarely-landed hits restore HP.

Back in the Undead Settlement, the woman acquired a taste for human flesh, of which she took glee in partaking.

Skill: Sharpen
Sharpening the blade increases HP restored with each successful hit.

Effect

Hits on an enemy will restore HP to the wielder.
As the only Axe to provide Slash damage, it is unusually weak against armored foes.

Availability

Dropped by the Unkindled Butcher found in the gulley in the area between the Road of Sacrifices bonfire and the Halfway Fortress bonfire.

Critical	Damage multiplier when performing a backstab or riposte. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Spell Buff:	Damage multiplier applied to the base value of a Spell. This value scales depending on the primary stat of the Catalyst, i.e. a Catalyst with Intelligence scaling will have its Spell Buff rise as the player's Intelligence rises. By default the value reflected in the infobox and the upgrades uses 60 Intelligence and/or Faith.
Stats Needed:	The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Intelligence and/or Faith will reduce the Magic/Fire/Lightning/Dark damage and Spell Buff.
Stat Bonuses:	The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus damage you do with the weapon, based on the associated Stat. This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill). See Scaling for more information. The Bonus Stats for a weapon are A/B/C/D: A is the Strength stat bonus that influences the Physical attack of the weapon. B is the Dexterity stat bonus that influences the Physical attack of the weapon. C is the Intelligence stat bonus that influences the Magic/Fire/Dark attack of the weapon and Spell Buff. D is the Faith stat bonus that influences the Lightning/Fire/Dark attack of the weapon and Spell Buff.

Stability:	Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.
Durability:	The durability of the weapon.
Weight:	The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Load will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
