Abstract: A method of manufacturing a knife blade includes preparing a blade preform of a first material, depositing a second material which is harder than the first material on an edge of the blade preform by arc welding, and sharpening the deposited second material to prepare a knife blade with a sharp edge. A knife blade is also provided and includes a blade section of a first material, and an edge of the blade section is provided with an arc welded layer of a second material which is shaped as a sharp edge, where the second material is harder than the first material.

Abstract: A tool includes a tool head with a utilization surface. The tool also includes a counter device responding to an impact applied to the utilization surface. The counter device has a memory, a microcontroller controlling operation of the counter device, an indicator, and an energizer connected to the microcontroller, which in response to the impact applied to the utilization surface, produces an electric current energizing the counter device to make a modification in the memory and provide information about the cumulative count of impacts in the memory via the indicator to a user.

Abstract: An ice scraper for removing ice from a surface includes a longitudinal handle with a longitudinal axis, and a blade with a first scraping edge extending transversely relative to the handle. A blade holder extends between the handle and the blade, with the blade holder extending in an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The blade is connected to the blade holder with a joint coupling for allowing movement of the blade relative to the blade holder.

Abstract: A joint for a cutting tool includes a bolt with a head in a first end, with a thread in a second end, and with an intermediate section between the first end and the second end, which during attachment of two objects rotatably to each other protrudes trough openings in said objects. A nut is received on the thread. In order to provide an easy solution for adjusting the tension of the joint and at the same time preventing accidental loosening of the joint, the bolt is provided with a cavity. An expansion bolt with a threaded end protrudes into the cavity and expands the second end of the bolt.

Abstract: A chopping aid device for use in chopping of firewood prevents pieces of wood from spreading into the surroundings outside the chopping aid device during chopping. The chopping aid device includes a basket-like cuff frame for chopped wood. In order to make the chopping aid device durable against mishits and to prevent the blade of the axe from becoming blunt in case of mishits by the axe, the cuff frame is made of an elastomeric material providing dampening characteristics against impacts and an upper edge of the cuff frame is covered with a collar made of a harder material than the cuff frame and providing protection of the cuff frame against cuts. A method for manufacturing a chopping aid device is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a growth container (1) comprising: a receptacle (2) with a bottom part (3) having a plant receiving area (4), and a light source (6) for providing light to the plant receiving area (4). In order to obtain conditions optimal for growth, the light source (6) is elongated and arranged centrally in the plant receiving area (4) for being surrounded by plants (5) in the plant receiving area, and for producing light (18) to the growth container (1) at a plurality of different heights (h) above the bottom part.

Abstract: A car snow brush includes an elongated handle with a gripping area, and bristles protruding from the elongated handle. The bristles are in the form of elongated and flat strips, which are manufactured of a plastic material, and are arranged in at least two rows such that inner larger side surfaces of the strips in one row face inner larger side surfaces of the strips in another row. The rows are separated from each other by a gap which is larger than the thickness of the strips.
