Missy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Try : serpette, a curved knife used at 'vendange' time. Though it's somewhat smaller than a billhook... Une faucille which a half moon shape blade on a short handle for cutting grass in smallish clumps. Une faux being a scythe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
