Bought for splitting planks and small logs for kindling and for lopping small branches/coppicing. Good weight and balance, if a little heavy for a full day’s work (but I’m old and weak). Impossible to comment on “durability” – my last handbill, lost in a house move, had already lasted 20 years or more and is no doubt still going strong somewhere or other. I have taken off a star because it arrived worse than blunt; I have spent hours with files and heavy-duty sharpeners to get an even, appropriate edge on it and it still needs work. I refuse to use a grinding wheel for fear of the edge getting too hot and losing temper.

Awesome traditional tool. Very very very dangerous in the wrong hands. Find the you tube videos on how to sharpen and use. It comes with a basic edge, it’s not sharp and needs a honed edge adding and maintaining to cut properly and safely.

Exactly what I was looking for. Good, solid blade, good weight. No rust or bad workmanship at all. Needs some sharpening to get the edge how I’d like it, but I expected far worse. I’ll be using it to take smaller branches off felled wood, which I think it will comfortably manage without sharpening tbh. Very pleased, money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased, money well spent.

I know It’s for use in the garden but the build quality was a bit iffy. Metal tang on the bag of the handle was quite rough and needed sharpening as soon as it arrived. Nice thick blade but makes it tricky to get an edge on it. Good bit of weight to it so you will feel it in your arms after throwing it around for a while.

I bought this wonderful knife to make kindling. I find the weight perfect to smash through logs and other off cuts of wood to make kindling. The knife is not razor sharp which is good otherwise I would be missing a few didgets by now.

This seems a very serviceable billhook, although I do wonder whether I should not have sought out a specialist supplier. Still it was a reasonable, price, has a decent weight, and with a bit of time I was able to put a decent edge on it. (But you will need a steel and/or a whetstone if you want to use it effectively.) The problem is that the handle is enormous. If you have hands the size of the great West Indian cricketer, Clive Lloyd, you’ll be ok, but with my (albeit reasonably small hands for a six foot man) I could scarcely use it. It took me about ninety minutes with a Stanley knife and sandpaper to get it usable (see picture), and it is now nicely-customised; someone with more craft skills could doubtless do it in much less time (but I did not want to rush it and take off too much in one go). If you are not prepared to spend a bit of time reshaping the handle, I would not purchase this unless you have very bid hands. President Trump certainly wouldn’t be able to use it! There again, he probably wouldn’t know which end to hold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very thick handle

This tool is brilliant for clearing brambles, I volunteer in a wood and it worked like a dream when we needed to clear an area of brambles for tree planting. The handle fits the palm well and while heavier than some machete it cuts effortlessly, as it is well weighted. A real must for the woodsman.

This is a fairly standard tool but the quality is as you would expect from Spear & Jackson. My early criticism was that the handle seemed a bit big in the hand but after several hours of de-foiliaging a felled large Leylandi I was glad for it sitting in the hand rather than having to grip it too tightly.
