Gules in dexter a Mullet pommed Or and in sinister a Paring Knife Sable
palewise.
Željko Heimer, 20 October 2002
[The paring knife (French: but[t]e; German: Wirkeisen, Wirkmesser) is a special tool used by blacksmiths (picture). This is the only example of a paring knife in Swiss heraldry and vexillology. Since it's so rarely depicted, there is no standardized representation (Info in German: Wikipedia, Heraldik-Wiki)]
