Description

A tool as old as agriculture itself, the gardening sickle remains one of the most efficient and satisfying ways to cut back grass and weeds by hand. Its timeless design has remained largely unchanged for centuries—and for good reason.

This version features a sharpenable raked blade that allows for clean, low cuts near the ground, all without forcing you to fully bend over. It's ideal for gardeners who want efficiency with less strain.

The sickle excels at trimming grass, soft plants, and weeds around delicate flowers or vegetables—places where powered tools might damage nearby plants. When used on longer grass, it’s perfect for creating mulch or collecting material for composting, making it as sustainable as it is effective.

Lightweight, simple, and time-tested, this tool is a must-have for anyone maintaining an organic or hands-on garden.

Gardening Sickle

Gardening Sickle provides great assistance in removing couch grass from garden beds. Its the second one I have purchased for the task.

Right for the job

The sickle was a good weight and well balanced for the job at hand although it did need sharpening several times. I needed to shorten the grass (Stipa) as a fire precaution without damaging the orchids and other wildflowers. There was no machinery needed which would have compacted the fragile soil and I could be selective about what I cut. A chore made pleasant and relaxing.

Gardening Sickle

The Gardening Sickle was bought for my husband for Fathers Day and he loves it. He did have something similar but he is often telling me that this one is better to hold, better weighted and so sharp.

Best gardeners friend tool

This little beauty makes weeding and aerating the garden so easy. I received mine the other day and used it straight away in a section of my garden I'd been dreading to get into. The SICKLE gets deep under the root system, removing the stubborn roots that continue to grow back if not removed properly. While doing this it was so easy to aerate the munch that becomes a hydrophobic mat. I would recommend the tool to all gardeners, avid or not.

A useful helper

I use this tool to remove tough weeds between the pavers in my garden. The hook shape helps grab them and because it is really sharp it cuts through them in no time.

The tool for the Tropics!

We live in the Far North where you stand still long enough you start sprouting roots! This Sickle is ideal for getting under the tough baked hard ground to clean out the roots and all. Cuts easily through Gingers and other ryzome and running plants in the garden. Also very useful for cleaning the tops off of the sweet potatoes and other harvested greens.
Highly recommended.

Useful + 100

I couldn’t do without this tool, perfect for scraping weeds and digging out the deeper ones. It and the hori hori are my go to tools for nearly every garden job.
Having the right tool for the job makes everything so much easier.
JTA is the best and has nearly every tool for every job. Great quality and value every time.
Now I just need to convince you to make a deep metal soil scoop to use when repotting!

Nothing else works anywhere near as well.

A brilliant cutting tool with superb edge, shape and balance. It's indispensable in my garden, particularly for all the long ornamental grasses.

J
Jenny S.A.N. (Sydney, New South Wales)
Another great tool!

I bought this to go with the Hori Hori that I absolutely love. The sickle cut through thick kniphofia grass so easily and I am sure I will find lots of other uses for it. A beautifully made and easy to use tool - highly recommend!

I don’t know how I managed without this tool. It’s amazing for pulling out paspalum and other crowning weeds. It’s light and easy to manage but at the same time super strong.

A great helper

This is not my first Sickle, I have invested in a few, some have been modified to have longer handles for easier use in big areas, and I wouldn't use anything else, just great.
