Litho's Armory/The Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a pre-hardmode broadsword that is purchased from the Demolitionist after beating either the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu. It acts like a regular broadsword but deals 3x damage on critical hits.

Trivia

 * This item is a direct reference to the weapon of the same name from Team Fortress 2.
 * As is the case with the Holy Mackerel, the fact that this item deals triple damage on a critical hit is a reference to Team Fortress 2, in which critical hits deal triple damage instead of Terraria's double damage critical hits.
 * Like the other Frying Pan items, this item's tooltip references the Demopan fad often associated with the item in Team Fortress 2. This is also why the item is sold by the Demolitionist.
