*  11601 Minifigure, Weapon Blade with Bar Handle and Spikes Parts: Minifigure, Weapon To me there are many reasons why this should be under Weapon. The landslide majority of the sets it comes in use it as such. It's also similar to these weapons that you attach to bars and whatnot:   *  19179 Minifigure, Weapon Blade with Bar and 3 Spikes Parts: Minifigure, Weapon   *  23861 Minifigure, Weapon Blade with Bars and 5 Spikes Parts: Minifigure, Weapon   *  98141 Minifigure, Weapon Crescent Blade, Serrated with Bar Parts: Minifigure, Weapon The shape is not that of a conventional saw, like the one below (which does belong in utensil):   *  18983pb01 Minifigure, Utensil Tool Saw with Reddish Brown Handle Pattern Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated The part in question is meaner, more alien; it looks like it's made for battle. It's reminiscent of the famous Halo energy sword. I can't imagine someone would search Utensil before Weapon when trying to find this piece (I speak from a frustrating personal experience!) Am I alone? Why is it considered a utensil?

While I agree it doesn't quite fit in the utensil category, looking at how its used in sets, perhaps energy effect would be a better category for this piece. (34 months ago, Aug 23, 2021, to Catalog Requests)
