The Japanese sickle, available in 430 mm or 500 mm, is designed for manual cutting tasks requiring precision, efficiency, and ease of use. Its curved steel blade, sharpened according to Japanese tradition, allows for easy cutting of tall grass, weeds, flexible stems, and light vegetation with a clean and controlled motion.
The 430 mm version offers an excellent compromise between maneuverability and reach, ideal for precise work, careful weeding, cleaning flowerbeds, borders or hard-to-reach areas where motorized tools are not suitable.
The longer 500 mm version provides increased reach and superior performance, particularly suited to tall grass, more open areas and more intensive maintenance work.

Appreciated for its simplicity, reliability and cutting quality, this Japanese sickle is a durable tool, suitable for both amateur gardeners and green space professionals looking for a precise, efficient and robust tool.
