The central male ritual tool, the athame is a double bladed knife, typically with a black handle. It represents the element of Air (Fire in some traditions), and is placed into the chalice as the focus of the great rite, as well as being used to cast the circle that surrounds a ritual space. While usually kept sharp, in most traditions, the athame is never used to physically cut with.
