Mannaruolo, Rasula and Scatula

The mannaruolo is a special bill-hook-shaped knife. It is suitable for cutting ash because it allows one hand to control the point of incision and the other to direct the groove.

The Rasula is a tool shaped like a small shovel that is used to scrape the manna that has dripped and solidified on the bark of the tree. The Scatula, a real box with handle, is used to collect the manna. It is used together with the rasula and has a concave side for better adhesion to the tree trunk.
