Simply put, they are are tools, and have a sharp blade.

Does not make sense since they can't be moved precise enough.
Only use case I see would be to mow down free running chicken, but then we would need graphics of them without heads...

I'll admit, the idea of "butchering" a live chicken with a scythe to create a headless chicken, which when dropped would run around headless amused me

Scythes are not an appropriate tool for butchering. Sickles could arguably be good for that.

In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a 'butchering knife' or 'sickle' brought in that speeds up butchering... Utility tools never suck.

Especially if, prior to having this tool, butchering is somehow nerfed ala clay cauldrons.

Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

If they are made with a stick, they would also be much easier to have in higher qualities than other tools.

A stick and a few nuggets of hard metal seems fine for a "butchering" knife.

A butchering knife with 1 bar or maybe 8 nuggets of hard metal and a branch would be awesome. +1

Error message will saying ''need precise sharp tool'' instead of ''need sharp tool'' for making clear this one.
