In woodworking, a fishtail (also fishtail gouge or fishtail spade gouge) is a type of chisel with a flared blade that resembles the tail of a fish.[1]
They are used for light wood finishing, lettering, skimming, and modeling.[2] They can be used to reach in tight places where a full-width gouge would not fit.[3]
In gardening, a fishtail spade has a flared triangular blade combining the versatility of the Dutch hoe and power of the common round point shovel into a multipurpose tool.[4]
