    Low effort, high efficiency

    Billhooks/Vesuri have been used for a long time to get real work done (they are not the fleeting vision of a designer), this tool was engineered not designed - and as such it works. Simpler is always better in real world, real use tools. This tool uses leverage, centrifugal force and gravity to cut. Much more civilized then secateurs or saws which need direct muscular effort, strong hands/shoulders and lead to fatigue and bruising if used for hours. Hook captures and contains as well as directing swings making this second nature to use. Very safe without pointy bits and blade is well protected by hook which works wonderfully to bring material to you effortlessly which means less bending, stretching and unbalancing/dangerous antics. Great balance, no hot spots on handle which is both comfortable and warm. Sheath is very safe and instinctual making tool easy to stow and with one design feature: a hole that makes sure edge does not wear/get worn by sheath. Steel is performing well and edge geometry works however as yet no experience, or need, to sharpen the tool. My parent have begun using it and have found the effort needed for pruning and limbing has dropped substantially and they don't need my assistance. They don't seem to grasp the innate mechanical advantages but no matter they think it is "wonderful".

    Probably more effective on brush without spikes

    I saw other people using it on lantana and wanted to try it out. I already had my own method of snapping the lantana manually. I found that in order to be effective with the brushcutter you need to swing, and that tends to increase abrasions on the skin, as opposed to the snapping method.

  • Turf the shears, we've been doing it wrong for so long

    I am in love with my Bush hook. It's the only way to clear weeds that are too big for a whipper snipper, great for general pruning and bird perch collection. It's really good for removing vines and Blackberry, when used as a hook it selectively just pulls the offending items out, you very quickly have a great big pile of vine and it's great for picking it up too. Works very well as an axe as well as a machete, yet it's very light at 450g. Obviously it's not the most ideal tool for felling small trees, but it can do it. It's so efficient at cutting compared to shears or loppers, just a flick of the wrist. You want to swing at about 45 degree to the grain, and the swing needs velocity, not weight. Would be great for taking camping, probably the ultimate survival tool. The tip of the hook is intentionally blunt in just the right spot that you can swing it blindly at a bush with rocks or concrete behind it and not damage the blade, something you would be foolish to attempt with a hatchet. I'm yet to cut myself with it either, the tip of the hook is very forgiving. I reckon it's bigger brother (xa23 I think) would be very useful too, but this little fella is probably bang in the middle of the sweet spot as an all-rounder. Build quality is fantastic too, made in Finland, like my tikka. We'll see how long the Teflon (or something similar perhaps) coating lasts, but while it's still there, there's very little reason to clean or oil the blade. Oh, though the bush hook may be considered too offensive to keep on the shelves at the green shed, it's inoffensive enough to be carrying in suburban Parkland while collecting perches and branches for the birds. Yes, various gangs have ruined machetes for most Australians, but for those of us not looking to do the wrong thing, the bush hook lives on!

  • Almost perfect!

    A good tool that could be better. The blade tang is only about 20mm long and this causes the handle to flex when the striking angle is not close to perfect. For me the hook is too tight and the tip too broad for cutting small branches in a congested situation - it will be modified.

  • An excellent good quality tool.

    The Fiskars XA3 brush hook is a fantastic tool to remove unwanted vegetation from overhanging palms,yucca, and most other fibrous plants that are difficult to cut with a saw.

  • Great tool.

    Better than I thought it would be. Effortless with cutting branches and the like. Light weight, strong.

  • Brush hook

    Very sharp and works better than a machete because its very light and you get more speed with your swing, as others have said the handle is a bit slippery especially if wet,
