Traditional Japanese craftsmanship - durable, effective for garden weeding tasks. : Patio, Lawn & Garden Review: I wish it hadn't taken decades of living before finding this tool - This is a surprisingly effective hand tool for hand weeding an area. It feels different to use than a lot of western hoes/etc that typically require a chopping or stabbing motion and may take a little experimenting with to learn how to most effectively use it, (I find a slight slashing motion to get the tip under tough grass roots followed by a draw back towards yourself the most efficient/natural feeling way to use it), but once you get used to it, it feels almost like an extension of your hands rather than a clunky tool, and it can deal with surprisingly tough weeds surprisingly efficiently once you get used to it (at least it has for me). My gardening nemesis last year was out of control weeds in my vegetable garden (especially problematic was the extremely aggressive and woody stoloned lawn grass that was determined to smother everything else in my dense clay soil that makes pulling things out by the root nigh impossible wirhout serious digging). While I still loathe that kind of grass, this tool makes trying to tame it at least a reasonable task instead of what seemed an excessize in futility. It's also easy to get around valued plant stems in a surgical way (with a little care taken) since it is most effective coming at the weeds from a sideways angle instead of vertically which puts valued plant leaves and stems between the weed and the gardener. As well as being effective on Sparkling Grassy weeds, it also works fine for getting out things with annoying taproot by just turning the tool and using the pointed end to dig beside the taproot and level it out. This tool isn't magic and won't just erase hard weeds, but it certainly makes hand-weeding a *lot* easier more effective than it used to be and has quickly become of of the 2 tools I have with me almost anytimeI'm walking by the garden (the other being a gardening knife). With it costing less than $20 when I bought it, I have no worries being rough on it since if/when I eventually do chip the blade enough I can't or don't want to try repairing it myself it's affordable enough I would happily replace it. (Though I will say happily, despite being somewhat rough on it and only being careful when I know I'm working next to a rock, it hasnt chipped so far in the several months I've used it). Review: Makes weeding a breeze - This lightweight, handy tool, aids in quickly weeding without much effort. I have purchased multiple weeding sickles as gifts and also so that more than one of us in the family can use it at a time. It is very sharp. I recommend spray painting the handle a bright color so it is easily seen if laid down in the grass or weeds. ## Features - A masterpiece made by a real blacksmith factory.

Word of warning: the item I received had a blade much shorter than it is shown and the twist of the angle is too far that it won't be useful as a sickle for small yard work. I'm using it as a root digger/cutter. **Q: is the cutting edge of the blade serrated?** A: The cutting edge is not serrated. It is slightly crescent shaped and very sharp. **Q: Will it work to remove weeds from in between pavers?** A: The blade is about 3" long. It is designed to slide under the soil and cut off the roots of the weeds. I guess you could use the point to get between pavers. **Q: How long is the blade lengh of this sickle?** A: About 5 inches ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wish it hadn't taken decades of living before finding this tool *by J***A on August 26, 2026* This is a surprisingly effective hand tool for hand weeding an area.

It scrapes roots out of the ground like butter. I was able to clear out a raised garden bed that had been completely overtaken by weeds in 15 minutes without even getting sweaty. I just wish there was a version with a longer handle so you don't have to bend over as much. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tomerry Japanese Gardening Weeding Sickle Nejiri Kama Sharp Steel Blade Made in Japan Traditional Craftsmanship - Japanese Weeding Sickle Very Sharp Edge Quick Work (Full Size) - Japanese Weeding Sickle Hoe, 17" Gardening Hand Weeder Nejiri Kama Blade Tool Digging and Cutting Weed Remover, High-Carbon Steel One-Piece Molding with Hard Wood Handle, Very Sharp Edge Quick Work --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/136054099-japanese-gardening-weeding-sickle-nejiri-kama](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/136054099-japanese-gardening-weeding-sickle-nejiri-kama) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
