Please Note: This item ships in two boxes Like a surprising amount of historical battlefield 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, clear foliage and – when necessary – even lop heavy limbs from trees. It didn’t take much imagination to see the fighting applications of this heavy duty tool. As it saw more and more use in combat, the Bill began to evolve into a dedicated fighter. Its next incarnation, with its sharpened edges and hooking blades was fast, agile and ferocious. 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. An armed force, wielding row after row of these weapons was fearsome to behold! Our English Bill represents the highest quality battlefield evolution of this formidable tool. With a fully sharpened battle-ready blade spike and hook, supported by an extra deep steel socket and our stout Boar Spear shaft. Name: MAA English Bill Weight: 81.1 oz Overall Length: 89 1/2″ Handle: 65″ Ash Wood
Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Superblades has been a retailer of Cold steel’s for over 15 years now and we are convinced they are among the best knives and swords in the world.
Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton® handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III® and Tri-Ad™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad™ Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it.
We have tested the Tri-Ad lock here as well and found it to be second to none in strength and durability.
Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years. We here at Superblades will always continue to support and represent Cold Steel as a premium brand.
