Billhook Knife

Another neat find at Paris Market Antiques in Coeur d’Alene. The sheath is obviously a contemporary piece, but the jury’s still out on this billhook knife. It ought to make for a useful bit of kit: from dispatching squirrel and rabbit heads/limbs to cutting down saplings and other camp chores. It might even come in handy for dispatching a redcoat/redskin or two…

Nice. I’ve got a full-sized bill hook and it’s unbeatable for clearing brush, limbing felled saplings, chopping and dropping heavy-stemmed crops, and so on. It’s hard for machines to keep up with it. I wish I’d gotten it 40 years ago.

While in high school my summer job was with the local township road crew clearing roadside overgrown brush. One of the best tools for this was a LARGE brush hook that took two hands to use.
