A pickaroon (or picaroon ) is a wood-handled (may be other materials also), metal-topped log handling tool that originates from the Alpine Region where it is called " Sappie, Zapin, Sapine ". [1] [2] It is distinguished from a pike pole by having a shorter handle, no metal point, and an opposite curve to its hook (toward the handle rather than away); and from both a cant hook and peavey by having a fixed hook facing its handle rather than a pivoting one facing away.
A pickaroon with a down-turned point on its hook is known as a sappie or hookaroon ; [3] one with an axe blade opposite its hook an axaroon , eliminating the need to carry two tools to manage logs. [4]
