I want to get one of these spade looking tools for cleaning trunks, but I don't know what they are called or where to get one from.

Anyone know where those are sold?

These just must not be available in US. Maybe we can import some if we could find out who makes them.

I've looked online for these, but everything for sale is in Spain. You might try chatting up some landscapers in your area or try to find someone to import one. I imagine someone in Mexico might be more familiar with the tool.

I see palm chisels for sale, but they are straight and not angled like the corvellote.

The closest analog tool I could find is a 'timber framing hand slick'.

Agree . If I wanted to use one of those I would buy the longest one I could find and weld a longer handle on it .

A Bark Spud Tool is probably the closest U.S. equivalent.   The handle is longer than the one on  the corvellote.   Google it for more info.

Add me to the list of one who wants to purchase a corvellote. Been looking off and on for a couple years, and from what I can tell you can only purchase them in Spain and they don't appear to ship to the US. I haven't found an equivalent tool to purchase in the states, and the bark strippers have too narrow a head to be efficient imo.

here's a good example of someone using one of these tools on an un-skinned CIDP to clean it up.

I have searched quite a bit on the internet today trying to find this in the US, but to no avail. Companies that I have found outside of the US, do not ship to the US. 

Anyone care to help me obtain one?

You should call up those "Forged in Fire" guys.  They could make you one.

Bigger question for me, 

What is this doing to the tree?  That looks like a lot of raw, living tissue being sliced off.

I agree with this as well. I definitely would not do this during winter when there is a higher risk of fungal infection.

Not the same design.

I found a way to obtain one. 

Thank you.

Curious as how you obtained one except by company overseas willing to ship.
