Cutthroat Kitchen's Hatchet

Origin
Four contestants. Three rounds. $25,000 each. As many opportunities to purchase sabotages as needed.

More knives out reality competition than a dainty cook with the host, Alton Brown oversees the chaos inflicted upon the rival chefs. Whatever the producer’s diabolical little minds could fester, from replacing all stainless knives with flimsy plastic excuses to prepping meals on a hammock. Winner gets to keep all the money they didn’t spend to annihilate their cohort’s chances.

Effects
Touching the hatchet will give a person a high level of culinary skill for half of an hour. Failure to neutralize at the 30-minute mark after activation would cause sabotage in the user's kitchen ranging from using sub-par ingredients to cooking in an easy-bake oven.

Appearances
Used by Abagail and Bri to cook dinner for the Leverage crew before their infiltration of the Warehouse.
