The sickle is one of the oldest hand tools for mowing grass, reeds, and weeds, which still remains a practical solution where a trimmer or lawn mower is inconvenient: narrow passages between beds, areas near fences and posts, slopes where it is difficult to bring equipment, or simply a small garden where buying a motorized trimmer is economically unfeasible. The blade length is 350 mm (14 inches) — a standard size convenient for sweeping mowing movements with a wide grip on stems in one pass. The serrated sharpening of the blade is a key difference from a smooth sickle: the small teeth hold the stem during movement and prevent it from slipping out from under the blade, making the mowing cleaner even on tough, overripe grass or thin branches of weeds that a smooth blade might just crush instead of cutting. The hardened steel of the blade holds its sharpness longer than ordinary soft steel when in contact with tough stems and small stones in the grass. Frequently asked questions. Is it hard to learn to work with a sickle without experience? The basic technique — a wide cutting motion at ankle level or lower — can be mastered in a few minutes of practice, although developing rhythm and speed comes with time. Is the sickle safe to use with gloves? Yes, and gloves are recommended — the blades are sharp, and the free hand often holds the stems during mowing, so hand protection is advisable. A practical backup tool for the owner of a small plot or garden, as well as for those cases when motorized equipment is unavailable or inconvenient for some reason.
