Georeumdae, or fork, is a farming tool used to rake together or remove leaves or manure, and was also called georitdae. It was also used to clean up barns. It resembles the fork used as cutlery in the West. It was usually made by flaming a length of wood with two or three branches to create a desired shape with teeth, or in some cases, metal teeth were driven into the handle. Similar tools include a forked rake, which was used to plow a field. Some regions called this fork a forked rake interchangeably, since both tools usually had three teeth. However, a fork’s teeth are straight, while those of a forked rake are curved. In addition, a fork was used to push things forward, while a forked rake has to be pulled.
