STAINLESS STEEL TOOTHED HARVESTING SICKLE

Half saw, half sickle, always useful, never rusts.

What do you bring your veggies in with? An old kitchen knife? A pair of scissors? They'll do the job - but this little tool will do it so much better.

The Stainless Steel Toothed Harvesting Sickle is completely unbothered by whatever you're pulling out of the veggie patch. The softest spinach stems or the most overgrown cauliflower - it doesn't matter. One smooth, deliberate pull across the stem and your crop is out of the garden bed and one step closer to your plate.

The teeth are fine and sharp (15 tpi, for the saw nerds among you), and the sickle shape brings them across the stem with surprising efficiency. It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.

The stainless steel blade resists rust and corrosion no matter how harsh the conditions or how carelessly it gets tossed in the shed. It will not hold a grudge. The only real challenge with this tool is exercising the self-control to not harvest everything the moment it looks vaguely ready.

Care Instructions

A well looked after sickle will last you years - and honestly, they're not fussy. Just a few simple habits and this tool will be with you for the long haul.

After each use
Wipe the blade clean and dry it off before putting it away. Sap, soil and moisture are the enemy of any blade - a quick wipe takes ten seconds and saves you a lot of grief later.

Removing sap and gunk
If the blade is sticky with sap or plant residue, a small amount of food-grade oil on a cloth will lift it off easily. Don't let it build up - it makes the blade less effective and harder to clean over time.

Sharpening
Sharpen the blade every few months or whenever you notice it isn't cutting as cleanly as it used to. A fine grit whetstone works well - sharpen from the back of the blade, working with the curve. You don't need to do this often - just when it needs it.

Storage
Store somewhere dry. If you're leaving it for a while, a light wipe with oil on the blade before storing will keep rust at bay.

The stainless steel model (Stainless Steel Toothed Harvesting Sickle) is far more forgiving than a carbon steel blade - it will resist rust even if you're not perfectly diligent about drying it. The Utility Sickle is the same. That said, a little care goes a long way with any tool.
