Sleeker
A sleeker has a rectangular (approx. 10-15 cm long) blade of stone -
usually slate - metal or glass (1), one long side of which protrudes into a
wooden handle that must be gripped with two hands. The tanner uses the
sleeker to stretch, smooth, polish and push the moisture out of the
leather. [MOT](1) See SALAMAN 1986: 313.

Small garden hoe
Hand tool that resembles a garden hoe, but whose thin, sharp blade is
usually not symmetrical and the swan-neck shaft and short (approx. 15 cm)
wooden handle - is located on the left or right part of the working part .
There are also straight models (V Dv 0851). With the small garden hoe, the
roots of the weeds are cut just below the surface of the earth, while
pulling. The tool is also used in agriculture for hand weeding and beets
thinning. See also the scuffle hoe. [MOT]
Slate ripper
The slate ripper is used to pull out the nails that hold the slates to a
roof. It is a metal sheet of approx. 30-50 by 4-5 cm with lateral backward
notches, one end of which is bent perpendicularly. A metal handle is forged
at that end that ends in a hook. The slater pushes the sheet under the
broken slate, grabs the nail into a notch and pulls the tool towards him;
sometimes he hits the right-angled part with his hammer. [MOT]
Soap shaver
Flat grater made of sheet iron (approx. 25-35 cm long; approx. 10-12 cm
wide), sometimes with a wooden frame, in which fairly large holes have been
punched and which is used to grate brown soap for suds. On a flat kitchen
grater with grating surfaces with holes of different sizes, one sometimes
finds a grater part for soap. [MOT]
