KAKURI 45" Japanese Weeding Sickle Long Handle — Laminated Carbon Steel Blade, Natural Wood Handle

The KAKURI 45" Japanese Weeding Sickle is a long-handle, stand-up garden tool with a razor-sharp laminated high-carbon steel blade made in Japan, designed to cut grass and weeds without stooping.

Engineered by Japanese craftsmen, this weeding sickle pairs a traditional laminated high-carbon steel blade with a natural wooden handle to give you precise cutting power and reduced back strain. The 45.2-inch overall length lets you stand upright while trimming grass, and the 8.6-inch thick blade delivers a long-lasting, easy-to-sharpen edge. Because the blade is carbon steel, simple care after use keeps it rust-free and performing like new.

How does this tool make weeding less tiring?

The extended handle lets you work while standing, so you avoid repeated bending and kneeling that cause fatigue. Its balanced weight and long reach make it efficient for edging, clearing strips of grass, and tackling overgrowth along paths.

• 45.2" overall length for standing use
• Natural wood handle that absorbs shock and offers comfortable grip
• Well-balanced design for sweeping cutting motions

What kind of blade is on the KAKURI sickle and how do I maintain it?

The blade is laminated Japanese high-carbon steel: a hard cutting edge bonded to softer iron for toughness and ease of resharpening. Because carbon steel can rust, wipe the blade clean, dry it, and apply a light coat of oil before storage to preserve its edge and finish.

• Japanese high-carbon steel laminated with soft iron for durability
• 8.6" thick blade length for strong cutting performance
• Simple maintenance: clean, dry, oil blade after use

Is this a precision tool or better for heavy-duty clearing?

The KAKURI weeding sickle bridges both needs: the razor-sharp laminated edge provides precise slicing for weeds and grass, while the thick blade thickness and sturdy handle let you cut denser vegetation. It performs well on borders, garden beds, and light brush but is not intended as a pry bar or axe substitute.

• Sharp edge for neat edging and precise cuts
• Thicker blade gives strength for tougher stems and grass
• Ideal for repeated sweeping cuts across larger areas

How is the tool built and where is it made?

Each unit is manufactured in Japan using traditional techniques and quality materials: a laminated carbon-steel blade is fitted into a natural wooden handle for longevity and comfortable use. The construction emphasizes maintainability and reparability rather than disposable design.

• Made in JAPAN by skilled artisans
• Blade material: Japanese high-carbon steel; Handle: natural wood
• Dimensions: 45.2 x 8.2 x 1.1 inches; Blade length: 8.6 inches

Who is this for? The KAKURI 45" Weeding Sickle suits gardeners, landscapers, and homeowners who want a durable, long-reach tool for standing weeding and edging. It’s especially useful for people who prefer a manual, low-noise solution to clear grass, trim borders, and maintain paths—those willing to perform simple blade care to retain peak performance will get the most out of this Japanese-made tool.
