What is this tool called?

[Dimovi]

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?

 

 

[dalmatiansoap]

At this moment I would call it RPW exposer

reminds me of a coa de jima, but with a strait edge.

corvellote.

I don't know what they are called in English.

 

[Dimovi]

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 . 

[jimmyt]

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.

[JubaeaMan138]

So Similar took but does anyone know we’re to get the tool use to strip blue agave into balls . Called Jimas? Jimadors use them .

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.

Can you do this to a Sylvester palm?

[NewClippings]

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?

Not the same design.

I found a way to obtain one. 

Thank you.

The bark spud took is pretty close. The blade is not as wide but I imagine it would still get the job done.

[Jerry@TreeZoo]

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

[Funkthulhu]

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.

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

We need this tool out here in Calif!  How do you get one?

[JRV]

Why do these SOB's in other countries have them and we don't?

[rtb777]

Following up, does anyone know how to obtain this tool in the US?  Thanks in advance.
