Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross-section is rectangular. The surface of the front side is ground while the back and the butt is bruised. There is major differentiation between the butt and the blade; the shoulders are raised and the front and sides reduce towards the poll. There are also small lugs at the poll. The bevel is demarcated by a straight ridge at the chin. The cutting edge is straight and sharp with a few chips along the edge.
