What is a Bill Hook Knife?

A bill hook is a versatile handheld tool for cutting woody vegetation in agriculture and forestry.

• Blade: The defining feature is a curved blade, often resembling a sickle. On one edge, the bill hook features a sharp cutting surface, ideal for slicing through branches and vegetation. In stark contrast, the other edge may be blunt or even hooked. This blunt or hooked design serves a completely different purpose: namely, to assist with grabbing and pulling material.
• Handle: The handle is typically wooden and extends straight from the base of the blade for good control and leverage. Some bill hooks might have a shorter, hatchet-like handle for heavier chopping tasks.
• Function: Bill hooks excel at clearing brush, cutting thick branches, and managing overgrown areas. The hooked design allows you to snag branches and pull them toward you for a powerful cutting motion. This is particularly helpful for cutting close to the ground where a machete might struggle.
