Hoe

The hoe is a common farm implement. It appears in Ultima VI, Martian Dreams, Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
Hoes are generally only used by farmers for moving soil, chopping weeds and roots, and digging shallow furrows and trenches. It can be used as a makeshift weapon, but not a very efficient one, as its construction requires the use of two hands.
