Roger, if you're not, in the near future, going to be getting a Stihl KM extended reach scrub/hedge cutter attachment and the engine unit to go with it [which will allow you to cut your brambles while remaining comfortably upright] have you tried a slasher instead of a billhook? When I worked for the Nature Conservancy Council forty years ago, it was all we had to cut back brambles.

I vaiguley remember using an Allen Scythe years ago for general grass cutting and bramble removal in my uncles orchard, a bit of a beast of a thing but it did the job...

If you are going to use a slasher look for an old one. Usually a lot lighter and cheaper, I often see them for around £10.
