"V. tajadera con cuerpo monobloc. Knife gate valve monobloc body."

Possibly tajadera is referring to the actual valve shutter or leaf, but I think it's more likely a shortened way of talking about the whole valve.

cutter / chisel / howel / hacksaw / splicer
howel - Tool used for smoothing and chamfering, mainly casks.
hacksaw - saw with a narrow blade set in a frame, used for cutting metal.
Also splicer.
Tajadera de yunque - hardy / hardie
The hardy refers to a square hole in an anvil and various tools that fit inside that hole. As the hardy hole is square, the tools used in it will not turn. Differently hardy tools are used to form and cut metal. The swage is used to make metal round for final use as nail, bolts, rods or rivets. The fuller is used to make help bend metal, make dents and shoulders. Many hardy shapes have corresponding hammer shapes to help form metal, for example a "V"-shaped fuller is used with an inverted "V"-shaped hammer to form iron into an angle shape.
