Your most often used garden tools will likely be:
Austrian scythe
hand sickles and machetes (different types from all over the world)
broadfork
hand trowels and weeder/cultivators including Japanese, Korean and other Asian versions
various eye hoes (Germany, Austria, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Central America)
English-style D-handled spades, spade forks and digging forks
long handled sharp and flat point shovels
seeding rakes (Dutch or German) of varying width and tine number and length and forged garden rakes
pitchfork, compost fork
manure fork or potato hoe (make an excellent one of these by bending the tines on a pitchfork, indispensible for removing cut weeds from garden beds)
