I’ve now been using this tool for most of the summer. It enables me to cultivate around my plants regardless of the soil condition. I’ve been able to get down and pull out an awful lot of bindweed. It allowed me to break up so not so great soil so that I could amend it and do planting if you have one tool that you’ll use this is it. Beautiful quality, nice sharp blade. I cannot recommend this enough.

Ordered one. Inspected and used. Wow, cuts through weeds at soil level like butter. Ordered another. Will put longer handle on second one. I have large hands so added a rubber bicycle hand grip ordered on Amazon. Around $10 for four handle pack. These were just under 1” bore. See photo for the installed handle grip. Much better for me. Rubber handle is easy to put on. Start end of grip on handle. Place cutting head with its sheath on on the floor. Pull rubber at entry point while smacking the end of rubber handle with the flat of your palm. The inrush of air into the small hole in end of handle “fluidizes” the air space around the wooden handle and you will note it creeping downward. It’s effective. Be patient and you will achieve great results.

The first photo shows the two tools back to back. Note the superb attachment to handle. Front and back. I bought these for this reason. This attachment is far, far superior to other similar tools where a round handle is welded at one point. That is guaranteed to fail and break at the weld.

A superb garden tool. Love it. Clean carefully after use. Lightly oil and sharpen if necessary. Sheath it and definitely keep out of reach of children. The cutting edge is razor sharp. Use it only wearing proper footgear. No sandals, exposed toes etc. Boots or leather shoes preferred. This is an effective ground cover at soil cutting and removal tool.

Gets a 10 from me!

This year I've been so much busier than usual. Juggling a full-time job and a newborn, my garden has taken a neglectful hit. I bought this weeding sickle and it works incredibly well. As long I take care of it, and keep it sharp, it will save me a lot of weeding time. I'm guessing it can rust easily, so I take care of the blade as I would a knife. The blade has held up against stones here and there as well. Very pleased with this purchase.

I really like this tool, it has sharp blade and the angle is perfect for weeding! I bought a second one for a gift!

Sturdy and well made tool. Great for weeding and for planting bedding plants. Would have like to have had a longer handle but otherwise a useful and worthwhile buy!

Works great but have make sure you don't get carried away so you don't damage the good plants!

A replacement for a lost tool. Love using this for working in the garden. Just right length and the blade end is very useful. Constructed well.

I bought this late last Fall and used it for the first time today, end of April. It made very quick and efficient work of my first garden weeding. I was impressed as I used it. I am very glad I bought it. I cleared a large area of my garden quickly. It also works well between the plants without disturbing things you want to keep. This is going to be a very useful tool in my garden all summer.
