* TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': The ''Innistrad'' block features several equipment cards that are common tools, such as a [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220642 pitchfork]], a [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=244766 mattock]], and a [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220049 butcher's cleaver]], with the fanciest of all being a [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver-inlaid]] [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=222190 dagger]]. Flavor-wise these indeed represent the weaponized tools of Innistrad's peasantry, who would otherwise have no defense against the setting's ''other'' inhabitants; demons, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, and all other manner of horrors.

* Entrenching Tools (folding shovels issued to soldiers for digging individual emplacements, among other tasks) are far more likely to be used in hand-to-hand combat than bayonets. In fact, the Russian version of these shovels feature a razor sharp edge, and soldiers are trained to use it as a weapon.
