Butcher's Hook

We will be closed on Wednesday, January 22nd this week, so please be careful.

In Tobe Hooper's breakthrough film, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," there's a scene where Leatherface hangs his victim from a large, fishhook-like hook and wields a chainsaw. It was shocking.

The hooks used to hang large chunks of meat in meatpacking plants are called butcher's hooks or meat hooks, and I was able to get hold of one for the first time in a while. It has a nice shape and the rusted iron texture is nice, but please don't use it like Leatherface does.
