Hello,
I use a bush hook, for anything under around 100mm for hard woods and 200mm for soft woods.
I could do thicker but I do not want to damage my blade.
Scythes have more razor blade like edges, and brush hooks have more axe like edges. (apex).
The reason for the razor like blade is clean sharp cuts.
the reason for the axe like blade is strength and durability.
Once your understand how the apex on a blade works in regards to differing cutts, and attibutes it becomes more about applying the right tool for the right job!
