Tool Used For Cutting Fronds In Hawaii DVD
 
Anyone know where to get one of those? Extended pole, has something equivalent to a corn husk knife...which I found at Tractor Supply Company for pruning fronds - works GREAT.

But I need to get something that lets me reach 20 feet high etc so I can stop lugging a ladder around. Regular pole pruners don't work - saw blade makes a mess and I can't find any blades without teeth.

Can you attach your knife to an extension pole ? I use a serrated knife attached to a bamboo pole ,works pretty good.

Me, too (serrated knife, or "hook knife") taped to bamboo pole. 2 versions, one with hook each way, the "normal" way for green fronds, the upside down one for dead. This was in pre-BBTV days. Now I don't trim fronds any more, paranoid about spreading the virus.

A friend of mine sells some poles that you can put different attachments on. I think they extend to 12'
