Awl (approx. 20 cm long) used to break large blocks of ice into pieces. The awl is held at an angle of 45 ° and the tip is pushed into the ice to break it. This is continued until flakes of the desired size are obtained. An ice pick can also consist of six shorter awls (about 3 cm) next to each other at some distance so that it has a fork-like shape (1). [MOT] (1) According to BRIDGE & TIBBETTS: 55, this instrument would be used to sculpt ice.

The horn file (1) is used to work hard wood, horn, ivory or lead by friction. It is a metal straight or curved rod (15-25 / 0.5-3 / 0.5 cm) with deep parallel notches in the width, inserted into a short wooden handle of about 15 cm (2). The tool can be distinguished from the rasp for wood, which has points. [MOT] (1) Proper name unknown. Because the tool is widely used to process horn, we propose this name. (2) See a special model that resembles an iron in ROUBO: 3 pl. 328.
