Zenport K310 Brush Clearing Sickle with 9-Inch Carbon Steel Blade and 9-Inch Aluminum Handle - Gardening/Landscaping Hand Sickle with Grip

The sickle design is perhaps the most efficient method at trimming or pruning plants. The curved blade and pulling motion allow the almost effortless cutting action.The machete is sometimes overkill in cutting power and effort when it comes to green branches and the sharpness of the machete may not be enough for clean cuts.Clippers will do the job at trimming green branches but the motion of gripping and regripping can grow tiresome after hours of work.A very sharp sickle will cut with a slight flick of the wrist and the lightweight sickle is very efficient.The sickle arrives very sharp and is ready to cut. The handle and blade are of good quality and the blade is sharpened with a chisel grind, meaning only one side is sharpened. Clean and oil the blade after use to prevent corrosion.I'm very glad that I bought this sickle.

Works very well

Handle works, blade is SHARP. Cuts great.It would be nice if it came with a usable shieth the thin plastic one it came with is not enough.

I bought this to cut back ivy and other overgrown vines. It worked beautifully. I needed to skim just under the surface of my beds to loosen points of contact and then clear the unwanted surface growth away. It sliced through both very easily and made quick work of my yearly maintenance. The extra length was helpful in that regard. Also used it to cut grass around my neighbors’ homes that had severely overgrown their curbs and was impervious to edgers. It sliced thru the material and really impressed my friends. Also cleared away weed growth in sidewalk and driveway cracks. Have not attempted to sharpen it yet and will report on that later. Only negative is the rubber handle cover can slide off the grip on prolonged, forceful pulling. Would have been nice to have a more robust blade guard than the plastic sheath provided.

The reviewers and online video demos are no exaggeration! This thing is a powerhouse. To say it is crazy sharp would be an understatement. It’s well balanced and the handle is comfortable and it’s easy to wield about-murdering tall thick weeds n such. I tried it on a large area of 2-3 foot tall weeds that had stalks about one inch in diameter. I did not need to use any force at all, just a swing and it took em down like a hot knife going through butter. Whoa!! I was shocked at how little time and effort it took me to complete a large area. Would have been 2-3 times longer with the weed eater and would have burned thru a lot of string. Quality is great and the price is low. You will not be disappointed.

Very sharp and does a good job cutting small branches with little effort.

Everything about this product is great other than the handle slipping as you use it. Very sharp durable edge. Handle is comfortable but you have to constantly slip it back up into place.

This tool is very sharp so be aware. That being said this tool is very effective at clearing light to medium weeds and brush.
