Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface of the back is flaked, the surface of the butt is bruised and the front of the blade is ground. There is no differentiation between the butt and the blade; just the change of surface from ground to bruised. The bevel is very flaked and is demarcated by a ridge of flaking at the chin. The cutting edge is also very flaked and is thus curved but blunt.
