Billhooks, Slashers and Grass Hooks
We mainly cut birch for besom brooms and hazel for wattle in-fill panels. Hazel in the north east, not generally growing in tight, deer free conditions, tends not to be of great quality.
Billhooks are probably the single most important tool for the coppice worker. Users and collectors favour such old names as Elwell, Nash and Gilpin. However if you want a new useable well balanced billhook we believe there is only one manufacturer to choose - Morris of Dunsford. Morris is an old company that has in the past made a range of tools but have reverted back to mainly specialising in billhooks.
Recently added a new billhook from Morris to our range: known as the Hampshire Hurdlers Hook, about the same proportions as the Newtown but with the addition of a short straight edge where the pointy bit normally is. Handle is caulked
Morris will make billhooks with a single bevel, left or right, this costs an additional £2. e-mail for details
Don't forget we have very robust leather sheaths for most of the Morris billhooks, including the recent addition of a leather sheath for the Knighton billhook
