- The whaling-spade used for cutting-in is made of the very best steel; is about the bigness of a man’s spread hand; and in general shape, corresponds to the garden implement after which it is named; only its sides are perfectly flat, and its upper end considerably narrower than the lower. This weapon is always kept as sharp as possible; and when being used is occasionally honed, just like a razor. In its socket, a stiff pole, from twenty to thirty feet long, is inserted for a handle.

- The source entity 'whaling-spade' is described as having 'a stiff pole... inserted for a handle'. Candidate 1, 'cutting spade-pole', likely refers to the same tool, emphasizing its complete form with the pole, and is used for 'cutting' as implied by the source's function ('cutting blubber during the cutting-in process').
