Shears (approx. 30 cm long) which consist of one piece of hardened steel bent into a U shape, or two to three pieces of steel that are riveted. The triangular blades rub together when the shears are squeezed or left open. Sheep shears are used to cut sheep short and also for the further processing of wool (see also dog's and sheep trimmers). Sheep shears can also be used to cut grass borders (see also grass shears). See also the Japanese model of the embroiderie scissors. [MOT]

Before threshing, the farmer cuts loose the twine or straw that binds the sheaves with the sheaf-knife. The blade usually consists of a piece of a scythe blade. It is therefore often slightly curved with a broad back, ending in a point. The length of the blade varies from 12 to 20 cm and is inserted into a straight handle (approx. 10-20 cm). See also the thatching knife and the bale tie cutter. [MOT]

With a serving fork one can easily serve sausages, potatoes, ... It consists of a U-shaped squeezable handle, one end of which ends in two sharp teeth. At the other end is a plate with two holes where the tines of the fork can be inserted. When one pokes a sausage or something like that on the fork and squeezes it tightly, it is slid off by the sliding plate that slides forward. The cake server works in a similar way. [MOT]

The shedding blade consists of a strip of flexible metal - sometimes made of plastic - (approx. 50 cm by 4 cm), with a handle at both ends (1).
