Hooked for Performance. Built for the Field.
What is a Billhook Machete?
A traditional agricultural tool with a distinctive forward-curved blade and sharpened inner edge. Originally designed for cutting around tree trunks, stripping branches (“snedding”), and clearing dense vegetation, it remains popular across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa.
Unlike straight blades, its hooked shape lets users pull, grip, and slice vines, brambles, and green wood with precision. The strong spine adds durability, while the hook enables accurate cuts in tight spaces.
Billhook machetes are commonly used for vine trimming in vineyards and orchards, coppicing and hedge laying in forestry, charcoal production and small-scale woodlot management, removing side shoots and bark from timber (snedding), as well as clearing undergrowth and thorny bushes.
Also Known As
Bagging Hook, Sheaf Hook, Reaping Hook, or Coa (in some African and Caribbean regions).
Engineered for Precision Cuts. Built to Withstand Tough Use.
Whether you’re sourcing for vineyard tools, forestry work, or traditional farming supply, Gear Machete’s billhook blades are trusted for their strength, control, and lasting performance—built to handle dense vegetation, hardwood branches, and rugged fieldwork with ease.
At Gear Machete, we don’t just make tools—we engineer reliability. Our billhook blades are forged for daily use in tough conditions. Distributors, brand owners, and importers trust our products because they’re:
-
Made with High-Carbon Steel – Offering superior edge retention and cutting power
-
Heat-Treated (Oil Quenched) – Blades reach optimal hardness (HRC 48–52) with balanced flexibility
-
Factory-Calibrated Consistency – From blade curvature to cutting angle, every piece meets strict manufacturing specs
This ensures every unit is field-ready and repeatable at scale—ideal for bulk export or branded distribution.
Multiple Shapes, Sizes & Handle Styles
Available in single or double-edge versions, with blade lengths ranging from 8″ to 16″. Handle designs include classic wood or durable molded plastic, customizable to fit regional needs.
