After the field has been mowed with the peat scythe or toothed sickle and the turf removed with the paring spade, the peat-cutter uses the peat spade to cut peat, which after drying is used as fuel or fertilizer. It is an iron blade spade (approx. 15 x 20 cm), with one or two raised edges, which is slightly curved (approx. 10-25 °) in relation to a knob or T-handle (75-120 cm) ). The cut of the blade can be straight or pointed and, like the spade, is inserted vertically (1) (approx. 20-25 cm) into the ground. The result is a clod in the shape of a parallelepiped (approx. 20 x 15 x 10 cm). The raised edges serve, in addition to cutting the peat, to keep the clod together. [MOT] (1) A spade is used to cut peat horizontally. (HOVE: 23; BORCHGREVINK: 70).

An oven peel is a wooden or metal hand tool (approx. 175-265 cm long) with an oval or rectangular blade (approx. 15-35 cm wide) on a long handle with which the baker used to oven the bread. The handle is long so that you can reach the back of the oven. [MOT]

The penknife originally served to cut the tip of a quill pen and to scrape away ink stains from parchment or paper, like an eraser knife. It has a narrow, sharp blade measuring between 2.5 cm and 4.5 cm in length. The penknife is now usually a cutting knife, exceptionally with a replaceable blade, which is used for all kinds of purposes, including as a nail knife. A light (approx. 10 g) model, from the Christy Company, contains a blade that can be slid into the handle in four positions to determine the length of the blade. In addition to the large blade, many pocket knives also have a small sharp blade that is used as a pen knife. Not to be confused with the scalpel. [MOT]
