Billhook
The billhook is a traditional cutting tool used mainly in
European agriculture, but also common throughout most of the world where it was introduced by European settlers or developed independently.The blade is usually made from a medium carbon
steel in varying weights and lengths, but typically 20 - 25 cm (8" - 10") long. Blades are straight near the handle but have an increasingly strong curve towards the end. The blade is generally sharpened only on the inside of the curve, but double edged billhooks, or broom hooks, also have a rectangular secondary blade on the back.
