Kathhi: A tool for cutting branches

Kathhi is a horticulture tool designed primarily for cutting branches. It has a double edged blade to increase its versatility. The edge with a hook on it allows to hold on and pull down the branches on a certain height while the one with a nearly straight edge allows the powerful chopping on wood. By its versatile nature, it makes one of the basic tools that a gardener or even a common man who have trees growing on their land should have in their backyard.
