description
Billhook attached to a 1-2 m long handle. The cut is usually curved or hooked.
The long-handled billhook is used to chop off blackberries, nettles and thorny bushes, and to trim trees along roads and streams, among other things. Some are called halfmoon, because off their specific shape. [MOT]
