Boline

Description: A sharp, single edged, white handled knife. The blade doesn't have to be straight, as some have a curved blade, rather like a scythe. The blade is also usually shorter than the athame.

Element: I am not aware of an elemental association attributed to this tool, but I assign it to Fire with other blades.

Uses: The cutting blade for ritual use, this knife is for inscribing on candles, cutting or harvesting herbs, cutting cords, cutting wax, etc. Some traditions specify that this can only be used in circle, ours only specifies that it be used for a ritual purpose, such as cutting flowers from my garden for use on the Altar. They are a very handy tool to have.
