Billhooks |
Edge Angle
Billhooks are sometimes called slasher billhooks or bush hooks. In either case, they are a tool which is vigorously swung by a person with both feet firmly planted on the ground.
My father always looked for a person “strong of back and weak of mind” to use this tool. (I sometimes wonder why he left me one in his will.)

The shape of the grind used is a call best made by the tool's use, based on your own experience. Additional notes are available on separate web pages for Grind Profiles, and Micro / Secondary Bevels.
