*Leicester/ | *Leicester/Warwickshire:<br />Favoured by midlands style hedgers, is a one handed tool with a 6" handle and a 10" blade. It has a curved blade at the front and a shorter straight blade at the back, the front blade being used for general purpose and the back blade kept extremely sharp for delicate trimming, topping off stakes and other work which will not damage the blade. | ||
*Yorkshire:<br />Used by a small percentage of Midlands style hedgers, this is generally a two handed tool with a 14" handle and 10" blade, again it has the curved front and straight back blades, in some cases the handle can be up to 36" long. The disadvantage of this variety of tool is its weight. | *Yorkshire:<br />Used by a small percentage of Midlands style hedgers, this is generally a two handed tool with a 14" handle and 10" blade, again it has the curved front and straight back blades, in some cases the handle can be up to 36" long.
