Bryan sells bronze garden tools and has a great grin. The hooked tool is called a 'hog's tusk', though it's said in German. I couldn't remember how it went. Bryan doesn't sharpen the tools with a file (would you - they're expensive!) - he peens them with a peening hammer and a peening something or other. An anvil perhaps. There was a lot going on yesterday and I wasn't as attentive to detail as usual. I didn't buy any of these but I did get a beautiful Japanese pruning saw which nests in a wooden scabbard. I'll be strapping that on come mid-winter and apple pruning time.
