Perhaps you have to put the edge on it yourself ?
Rather than the supplier sending it mega-sharp through the post.

That's what I had to do with mine. Not surprising really.

We tend to buy old billhooks as they are often the best. Junk shops, stalls at real agricultural or wood shows are good places, although you sometimes can get them on e-bay.

Good makes are Elwell, that we like, Morrises which are still going in Devon and a few more.

I would always try before I buy, as I need a fairly light one. All of the different shapes are for different areas or uses.
