So far, I have searched in vain for such an item of the style that
operates by simple lever style action.
The rope operated telescopic versions are ten-a -penny, but the item I
would like to track down is a fixed shaft (was wood) version that
incorporates lever operation, which connects via a robust rigid wire
to a hooked (by pass) cutter.

Out of curiosity, what do you find unsatisfactory about the
rope-operated ones? For me, the substantial mechanical advantage
makes it possible to cut thick stuff quite easily, and as it can
also be telescopic, the lower branches are easier to cope with
too.
