whetting anvil is an iron pin tapering downwards, with a flat square steel
head (approx. 3-5 cm). Sometimes the head is also wedge-shaped or both
shapes are combined. Approximately in the center of the pin is an opening

anvil from being driven too deep into the ground during the bristle. In our
regions, the mower sits on the ground, with the whetting anvil between the
legs. The scythe is placed on the anvil and hit with a hammer. With a
whetting hammer on the flat-headed hair shovel, with a bench hammer on the

Woodman's axe
Axe used to fell young trees, to remove branches from a felled tree, to
prune, to chop firewood on the log, etc. There are all kinds of shapes,
sometimes even a miner's axe or a heavy carpenter's axe is used. However,
it is usually an axe of about 0.7-1.3 kg, with an eye and two bevels. The
stem is about 30 cm long. The axes for chopping firewood (see splitting
axe) are very similar to some woodcutter's axes but are lighter. These axes
can be distinguished from the fireman's axe, the felling axe and the
topping axe. [MOT]
