Peel
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]
Penknife
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]
Picking knife (basket maker)
A basket maker's picking knife has a wide, curved or semicircular (approx.
4-7 cm) blade with a sharp outside. The basket maker uses the knife to cut
off the twigs sticking out of a woven basket. He places the cut on the twig
and cuts it off by an axial movement (cf. the curved knife). The picking
knife is sometimes replaced by a shoe knife (1). [MOT] (1) AUDIGER: 3;
