A 45cm (18in) long sickle equipped with a sharp forged steel blade for cutting grass, harvesting aromatic herbs and medicinal plants. Featuring a natural wood handle, and very lightweight, it is comfortable to use.

The sickle is a gardener's tool that resembles a scythe in its usage and composition, but it is much smaller and only used with one hand. Its handle is very short and its blade is even more curved, forming a half-circle. It is used to clear areas that are difficult for lawnmowers to access. It is useful for cutting the foliage of non-woody plants such as potatoes or beans, picking flowers in handfuls, and pruning aromatic plants. Some gardeners prefer it to secateurs for trimming perennial flower beds in late autumn.

Detailed features

Directions for use The sickle is used to cut green or dry vegetation. It is useful for clearing areas inaccessible to a lawnmower, especially slopes or areas overrun by nettles, thistles, and brambles. It can also be used for harvesting cereals, and sometimes for pruning. The sickle consists of a curved blade, roughly half-circle in shape, with its base attached to a wooden handle forming a grip. The blade, made of forged steel, is pointed at its tip and has a smooth cutting edge. To use the sickle, grasp a handful of cereals or herbs with the left hand, and cut at the base by pulling the sickle from right to left. Safety tips: Paradoxically, using a poorly sharpened tool is dangerous as it requires twice as much energy and quickly fatigues. Learning to sharpen a tool and doing so regularly is essential. Its use requires calm and common sense, positioning oneself in a way that if the blade were to slip or bounce, it would not end up hitting the operator. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing. Clean the blade with alcohol after use, as this helps prevent the transmission of diseases from one plant to another, and also helps prolong the life of your tool (the sap from certain plants can corrode or make the blades sticky over time). Store this tool in a dry, weatherproof place.
