The "mawl" in question was being used on the working deck of a tug when we were rigging for a towing job . A sailor used it to split a kentner shackle and a sliver came of the head of the mawl.. entering his hand . An accident report had to be filled in and I was instructed to toss the mawl overboard but I took it home instead .Liberated has a slightly dishonest ring about it but in this case I just gave it a new home and yes wear eye protection when doing heavy hitting !!!
