Such as these were basically the features of the small hoe blade that played a special role in forming such tools. The use of hoe blade indigenously with this indigenous hoe blade with built-on components of the spot-an-action farmers around India is a very common farm product among the Khasi tribes. A piece of iron developed from the forcing action of the tribe as well as their ability in the making and shaping of metal tools for farming is quite simple and functional in design. The two sides taper down towards the anterior end, thus shaping a pointed working end. This pointed shape is used for the effective digging, weeding, and effective tilling of the soil, all which are basic requirements for the cultivation of crops in the highly varied terrains that characterize the region.

Most impressive is that, in that blade, you would find the mid-rib that is the central ridge running through the length of that blade. This midrib would give it more strength and stability, to keep the same shape and take the rigors of agricultural work. The blade is also possessed of a long tang, which becomes the fixing point for the handle. The pointed end of the tang at the bottom would, therefore, enable the blade to be easily stuck to a wooden shaft making it utilitarian for various tasks. The hoe blade is thus a symbol of connection with the land as much as it is an implement of agriculture by means of which the Khasi peoples sustain their approach to cultivation. It also shows their craftsmanship in tool-making and the continued dependence on traditional methods in formulating such tools.
