Catalonian Carbon Steel Axe Billhook No.2

Catalonian Carbon Steel Axe Billhook No.2
£24.00
Ex Tax: £20.00

A distinctively shaped mid-weight brush cutting tool used for cutting and clearing dense and tangled undergrowth, which can be turned in use to alternate between the two blade types. From the workshops of Cuchillería Pallarès the one surviving knife and tool maker in a town once dotted with small manufacturers. Founded in 1917 by brothers Lluís and Carles Pallarès Canal they are now a third generation family company with a workforce of 15 whose owners and management still split their time between administrative necessity and manual craft production. Made from Carbon Steel, this item should be dried after use and stored in a dry place with a light coating of oil, to protect from rust. The wooden handle will also benefit from treatment with mild every now and then.

By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

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.
