Just need a new handle and watch out those brambles ;-) My friend says if I can get a new handle, she will cut the top stop off and put it on for me. Here we call them "hedge splashers" Slashers, ITYF Mine has a top blade too. Proper billhook. (Hatchet-on-a-stick) Slasher handles *can* be obtained from old-fasioned ironmongers. Hickory is best - I always manage to break ash handles in pretty short order, even when linseed-oiled.. Fork handles next? Yes, in spades. -- Rusty Hinge |
