pruning hooks
Garden trimming tools
Pruning hooks are curved blades mounted on poles, used to cut branches from trees and shrubs.
The hooked shape allows the user to reach around a branch and pull the blade through it.
The tool appears in the biblical phrase about beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks—weapons transformed into agricultural implements, signifying peace.
