Japanese Weeding Sickle with 5-Inch High-Carbon Steel Blade and Wood D-Grip – MASAKIYO Nejiri Kama
A Japanese weeding sickle uses a short angled cutting edge for controlled work close to plants and across the soil surface. The full-size MASAKIYO Nejiri Kama has a hand-forged 5-inch high-carbon steel blade that holds a sharp edge for slicing weeds at their roots in flower beds, vegetable plots and other cultivated areas.
The traditional wood D-grip balances the compact blade for deliberate strokes during repeated garden care. At 9.98 inches overall and 5.9 ounces, this manual sickle is easy to carry from bed to bed without the bulk of a long tool. High-carbon steel benefits from routine cleaning, drying and occasional sharpening after use.
