Takemoto Mushroom Sickle - 70mm

This elegantly designed, manufactured and packaged handmade Stainless Steel and Oak Sickle is ideal for carefully harvesting vegetables or mushrooms, and increasing plant child stock, such as Agave, by cutting the trunk.

A small traditional Japanese sickle handmade by a sickle blacksmith at TAKEMOTO BROS in Ono-city, Hyogo Japan (since 1912). The blade is 1.5mm thick stainless steel (double-edged). It is rust resistant and has a thin, curved blade that can be hooked onto the stem for cutting. The entire body is hardened to a hardness of over 55 degrees HRC, and the handle is made of durable oak. Coming with a brass clasp, the Sickle is extremely durable and sharp. 

For cutting work to increase the number of child plants and weeding work. Compact and convenient for mushroom harvesting in the mountains.

Since it is a double-edged type, it can be used regardless of your dominant hand.

``Body cutting work'' is a method of propagating Agave by cutting the stems and dividing them into upper and lower plants. Apply the chemical to the cut and let it dry completely. In this way, the lower part will grow into child plants, and the upper part will grow roots. More and more people are using this method to grow cactus and agave. You need good tools to do good work. Recommended for those who want to breed.

Can be resharpened and repaired. Comes gift-boxed.
