KAKURI Japanese Weeding Sickle 45.6" Long Handle — Triple-Edged Carbon Steel Blade, Stand-Up

Designed and forged in Japan, this weeding sickle pairs a long natural-wood handle with an 8.2-inch Japanese high-carbon steel blade shaped for efficient cutting. The extended shaft reduces stooping and protects your back while the uniquely triple-edged teeth slice through grasses and tougher stems. Lightweight but durable, it’s built for repeated outdoor use when cared for properly.

How does the long handle make weeding easier?

The 45.6-inch overall length lets you work from a standing position so you avoid constant bending and kneeling. That saves effort over large beds and borders and speeds up routine maintenance sessions.

• 45.6 x 8.2 x 1.1 inches overall size for upright use
• Long wooden shaft reduces back and knee strain
• Better reach for edges and under shrubs without contorting

What’s special about the triple-edged blade?

The blade’s three cutting edges and serrated-style teeth are engineered to bite into grass and fibrous weeds more effectively than a single-edge sickle. That geometry improves cutting performance and keeps useful edge life between sharpenings.

• 8.2-inch blade length optimized for sweeping cuts
• Triple-edged design increases cutting surfaces for cleaner slices
• Sharper, longer-lasting edge than conventional sickles

How should I care for the carbon steel blade?

Because the blade is high-carbon steel, it needs simple maintenance to prevent rust: clean off dirt and moisture after use, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil before storage. Regular honing will keep the edge razor-sharp and ready for the next job.

• Wipe blade clean and dry after each use
• Light knife or tool oil prevents surface corrosion
• Hone or sharpen periodically to maintain cutting performance

What craftsmanship and materials are used?

This tool is made in Japan by experienced craftsmen using locally sourced components: a high-carbon steel blade formed and finished in Japan, paired with a natural-wood handle shaped for comfortable grip and leverage. The result is a traditional garden implement built for practical longevity.

• Made in JAPAN with skilled artisan production
• Japanese high-carbon steel blade for edge retention and sharpenability
• Natural wood handle for a comfortable, secure hold

Who is this for: gardeners, landscapers, and homeowners who prefer hands-on, stand-up weeding and want a durable, high-performance tool. It’s especially useful for those who maintain lawns, borders, and planting strips and who appreciate traditional Japanese metalwork. Note: routine maintenance (cleaning, drying, oiling) is required to protect the carbon-steel blade from rust.
