Description
This Newtown pattern billhook is a tool traditionally used for hedge laying as well as other tasks, such as harvesting of coppice material, small poles, working-up material and cleaving. It features a 5.5 inch long wooden handle, and a curved 9 inch blade with a single sharp edge. The tang is the full length of the handle. This Black-Down Forge billhook is suitable for both professional and domestic users and the nearest equivalent for Morris of Dunsford tools.
*The blade is suitable for sharpening by the user as required, and may require sharpening before first use (at the users discretion).

Speedy supply and delivery. The billhook quality is good for the price. Sharpening, as advertised, needs finishing off by oneself. I’m pleased.
