You are now on our page dedicated to billhooks. This ancient tool consists of a short handle and a curved blade. Its shape makes it easier to gather straw or branches for cutting. Our goal is to bring you the largest selection at the best price, in addition to high quality (we indeed sell top brands at the best market prices: JAD JARDIN, DUCHESNAY, FISKARS, etc...). That's why we are writing this practical guide to introduce you to the billhook generally, so you can choose the most appropriate model for your needs.
Featuring a fairly wide and curved blade (the sickle has a much more curved and also thinner blade), the billhook can also have an edge that acts as an axe on the other side. It is then called a "billhook with heel". The blade of the billhook provides a very clean cut, allowing plants to heal quickly. This is its advantage over the pruner, which can crush plants a bit and therefore lead to slower healing. The "axe" blade will give a less precise but more powerful cut.
Besides the shape, the difference between two billhooks can also be the blade size. It can be more or less long. Your choice will depend on your needs. For relatively high or hard-to-reach cutting or trimming, a long blade should be preferred.
Next, you should pay attention to the details. For pretty long work, try to go for a model with an ergonomic handle. It will be more comfortable and less tiring in the long run. Similarly, the handle material can be more or less pleasant and more or less resistant to vibrations. A leather or even a fiberglass handle will be ideal for comfort.
We now wish you a pleasant shopping experience on ManoMano.
