K310 Brush Clearing Hand Sickle 9" Steel Scythe Garden Machete - 12

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.

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

Well made but it could use a sharpening. Otherwise a great product.

This is sharpe and great for weeding. It only has one problem. Its short as expected and I hate being bent over for long periods.

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.

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.

Great hand scythe for cutting tall grass. Be warned that it is not stainless and will rusty if left outside....

Decent tool. However, it has no sheath to store. I’ve had mine for a couple years and I’m constantly trying to avoided both cutting myself and damaging the blade. It arrives with a cellophane-thin blade cover that the blade slices immediately. I have searched for a retrofit leather or vinyl sheath, but have still been unable to find one. I keep mine blade-down in a bucket. Though it’s far from ideal and still isn’t secure.

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.

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.

La compré para quitar las espinas a datileras y funciona bien.

La agarradera de hule se le salió de su base de aluminio, el acero de la cuchilla hay que mantenerlo con poco de aceite, se oxida rápido.
