Turf Spades

There are 2 types of spade used to cut ( dig ) turf. I ( Brine,red hair ) am holding an ordinary spade used to cut sod turf , great big lumps for open fires. I ( Marcus , dark hair ) am holding a slaine or slean , a special spade used to cut turf to burn in all sorts of fires. The blade of this turf spade is L-shaped and very, very sharp, like a knife. Master McGirr was able to cut sheets of paper on it's sharp edges.
