I think that would be an appropriate instrument for Pounder's purposes. The Chopping Block refers to the wooden block where the condemned would put their chin in the curved notch with their shoulders behind the block. That way the executioner could not miss the neck. Fortunately we, as a society, evolved beyond this before bicycles and traffic light were invented. So Pounder can stop rubbing his 'Chisel'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_5xl0w_mXE |

The Romans had a heavy spear called a pilum, but I bet Pounder prefers the pizzle. |
