Zenport K310 Brush Clearing Sickle with Carbon Steel Blade and Aluminum Handle, 9"

Excellent balance and sharpness—ideal for the harvests that feed the masses. This sickle is easy to use, even during extended periods of collective labor. Be warned, however: the blade is so sharp that I cut myself just removing the packaging! So far, I’ve used it to clear thick weeds and even small poplars in areas that can’t be mowed, and it has performed exceptionally well. A solid tool.

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.

Merece una calificación de 5 Estrellas - EXCELENTE. Los materiales son de muy buena calidad, el tamaño es perfecto, la hoja de acero es muy resistente, incluso se pueden cortar ramas de árboles de un solo golpe. La hoz está muy bien balanceada y equilibrada y se nota que está construida con materiales de muy buena calidad.

Good shape of blade and handle. It does well to clean up around the bottom of the small trees that we planted. The one thing that is lacking is the hardness of the steel. It is very soft which lends to easy sharpening but sharpening often. The shape of the blade does well but really does need a sheath.

This is amazing it really knocked down the weeds in my backyard.
