Neuhausen am Rheinfall

Or a Sickle Argent handled proper and in base a Trefoil slipped Vert.

The charge is in fact a billhook, a tool generally used for trimming (not reaping) in vineyards.

In German: "In gelb über grünem Kleeblatt weisses nach rechts gekehrtes Rebmesser mit braunem Griff." Rebe = vine, Messer = knife. The name doesn't say whether or not it's specifically for pruning.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 January 2013

Perhaps the best term might be "vine knife".
