The ko is a traditional tool for digging the soil.

PROCESS
We were working with a partner.
Miss Aireen told one of us  to go and get a piece of  wood.
After we got our wood Miss Aireen said to get a mussel shell.
We stripped the bark with the mussel shell.
We used a sharp knife to sharpen one end of the ko.
