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]
