Krumpholz billhook or clearing hook
£39.50
Ex Tax: £32.92
A weighty billhook or clearing hook, weighing 600g, with a broad and solid, sharpened blade, this billhook is forged using premium German steel and forging techniques and has a shaped ash handle to ensure a good grip. Somewhere between a knife and an axe, the billhook is used for cutting woody plants such as saplings and small branches, for hedging and for snedding (stripping the side shoots from a branch). Handcrafted in the Krumpholz family-run forge in Germany who have been making high quality gardening tools since 1799.
Care Advice
Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
