Kirpi

The Kirpi is a small traditional hand weeding tool. It evolved in India as a multi-purpose gardening implement. The tool has a wooden handle and a curved blade. The cutting edge on the outside curve of the blade can be used for hand hoeing[?], whilst the serated inside edge cuts through dead vegetation of tough roots. The pointed tip can be used for raking out deep roots.
