Origin

The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition (Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control.

Although most historical accounts say that bloodshed was never used and forbidden, some courts often looked the other way when bloodshed was made. Warehouse 9 files on the Spanish Inquisition state that way more then the three approved methods of torture went past the Catholic Church of Spain. This saw was one of the secret methods employed on the victims of the Inquisition.

Effects

When held, the saw instills into the person holding a overwhelming urge and delight to dismember others.
