Description

A piece of metal bent at one end, the other end fitting into a bone handle. The blade is held in the handle by three nails. The blade resembles a knife used to clean and trim horses' hooves (pepecigogackwe) rather than a crooked knife blade.

Also used to smoothen and carve wood, for example for canoe making.
