A pickaroon (or picaroon), also called a hookaroon [1], sappie [2], hand-hook (vocabulaire), or tie pick (hardware age) is a tool used for log handling, fishing (oed), firefighting, and construction. It consists of a handle, usually wood, up to 40 inches long (NC Brown logging), with a metal pick at the end, which can be either curved or straight. It may also include a metal spike on its tip,(American tool logging co) although most modern variations do not. It is distinguished from a cant hook or peavy by having a fixed hook curving toward its handle rather than a pivoting hook curving away. In some cases a distinction is made between hookaroons and pickaroons based on the curvature of the pick.
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]
