These Japanese harvesting sickles are hand-forged by Suzuki-san, and they're perfect for any hipster gardener or modern homesteader. The head is offset from the handle and angled, making it parallel with the ground when held downwards at arm's length. This angle, combined with the toothy edge, makes it perfect for harvesting vegetables and whacking weeds in your yard!
