MAA ENGLISH BILLLike a surprising amount of historical weapons, the English Bill or Bill Hook owes its origins to agricultural use. This ancient forestry tool was used by peasants to hook creeping vines and hard-to-reach branches, and -when necessary – even lop heavy limbs from trees. It didnt take much imagination to see the fighting applications of this heavy duty tool. Over time, the Bill began to evolve into a dedicated fighter. Its next incarnation, with its sharpened edges and hooking blades was fast, agile and intimidating. A good Bill in the right hands could hook, entangle, thrust, stab, slice and chop with equal ease and oppose even heavily armed and mounted opponents. 9 inch wide, 24.5 inch long, 1055 Carbon steel head only. Designed to be fitted with a straight shaft handle from your local hardware store for convenience.
