Who Was the Pagan God of the Knife?

[Uath]

Lots of ancient gods had bladed weapons as their attributes. The question would be if one god in particular could be considered the God of the Knife. Let’s start with some obvious ones.

1) Tyr (or Tew) Tew would be the Anglo-Saxon god of battle. He gives his name to our Tuesday. Tew lost a hand to the wolf Fenrir. He carries a sword and would very much be a god of war, however, like most Germanic gods, He is more important than the weapon he carries. Weapons were tools to the Nordics. Despite their habit of naming them, the man that carried the weapon was more important than the weapon itself.
2) Bel (also Belenos) A Celtic sun god, “He of the shining blade.” Unfortunately, his blade would represent the sun’s rays more than the physical weapon.
3) Hephaestus (Vulcan) Greek god of smiths. Hephaestus was a much more popular god than many people would believe. He made weapons and tools for the other gods and his work was incomparable. The god of smiths and all who work with metal, Hephaestus would be a likely candidate for our knife god, but there is one better.
4) Bes Yes here we are, good old Bes. He was an ancient Egyptian god that was perhaps more ancient than the pyramid-building cultures. According to many scholars, Bes might have been one of the earliest of the Egyptian Parthenon. Fat and dwarf-like, Bes was a god of the common man. Mainly he was the protector of the home and (just as the man of the house) his main attribute was the knife, in particular, the knife used as a defensive weapon.
There we have the answer. The god of the knife was the ancient Egyptian god Bes.

Adding a pinch more...

In the Celt beliefs, the male diety was always represented by the knife, the female by the chalice or cauldron. So, in my case as a practitioner of the old ways, it's Cerowain.
