There are many types of hoes; when the term "hoe" types is Googled, in the entries are pictures, the first one is a type we used when gardening to scrape off the thousands of little weeds that sprout up in the Spring. The blade is angled degrees forward.
It is ideal to make hoe cake in an open fire.

Another type is a baker's hoe (?) (don't know the technical name), the blade parallel with the handle, which I have seen used to place pizza in an oven, and around a peech (Ukrainian).
