try tools on car boots where one guy has a weekly stall, look at older bilhooks with a tapered back this means it was forged into shape.

 

Most will be well blunt and will take about 4 hours of careful grinding and oilstoning to get the right edge. You should be able to cut through a 1" hazel stem with one cut and little effort.

 

I have about 50 most picked up this way, bit tired now but will look up some better quality names in the morning.

I have around 20 billhooks that i use for hedge laying, most of these i inherited from my grandfather. I recently bought a stihl one, it's a nice weight and a leather grip, i find it very comfortable to use, though i tend to use a Husqvarna hatchet when laying hedges.

 

A good site for a selection of older billhooks is:

 

Timeless tools Billhooks 1

 

Have fun.
