Japanese Stainless Steel Flat Blade Sickle

THE most useful garden tool ever. It reaches and cuts/pulls out flat weeds with ease, light, efficient cutting, good for digging, good for planting and mixing soils.

This the best gardening tool that I have purchased to do weeding. I have used it to remove moderate sized Agapanthus plants from a garden bed . This tool enabled me to get under the root system and pull them out easily. I have also used it to do weeding with great ease. I would highly recommend purchasing this tool and it is well made and very adaptable.

Finally had a chance to start using this to weed. I live on sand - not at the beach, but ancient dry river bed. THIN layer of soil on top, then sand. Grass clumps always seem to grow where you don't want. With rains, more like a blanket in my flower beds.

Previous method was to use a garden trowel to slide under the weeds from the front, pushing underneath a clump, work it around, lift up a bit, shift to another clump, then pull the weeds up. With this sickle, started from the right and moved left, angling the blade into the ground, then pulling towards me. SL (shift left) and repeat. Leaves the clumps unattached from the soil underneath. Simple pick up, shake loose soil, into bin. Very fast work. For taller clumps, with deeper roots, simple to wedge the sickle under the clump, pull towards me, and out comes the clump. Shake the loose soil off the roots, clump into the bin, and repeat. Just like using any sickle, except this was cutting under the growth, rather than cutting on top. Through thin soil, through sand, cut, cut, cut, like a knife through butter. BIG plus: allows you to get all the roots.

Best garden tools l have ever used.

One of the best gifts I've given someone special who doesn't have much but is a keen gardener
Practical
Beautiful and well made

Great tool for quickly removing multiple weeds in one go

This is a versatile tool for gardening. Its design allows for accurate and thorough weeding and tidying in garden beds and surrounds. A favourite gardening tool.

Great for getting rid of lots of small weeds in one sweep across the soil and not disturbing nearby plant roots. Together with Hori Hori my 2 favourite gardening tools
