A modified version of the smithy tongs was basically the earliest known twin-blade husking tool developed by Waters [5]. It had two lips sharpened like thin wedges, in the juxtaposed or closed position; it was swung and impaled on the coconut, and then separated to loosen the husk. The operations were repeated for three or four times to finally take out the kernel. It is evident from figure1 that it is not that much convenient to use and the coconut should be held somewhere while husking operation is done and that could be one of the reasons why it was not popular at all.
