Takemoto FAQs

Which Takemoto garden tool should I start with?

Start with the Sakle if you want a longer handled sickle for grass, harvesting and light clearing. Choose the Banshu or Shozo sickles for closer weeding and tighter garden spaces. Choose the Doukan shears when you need more cutting power through thicker growth.

What is the Takemoto Sakle best used for?

The Sakle is best treated as a controlled garden and harvest cutting tool. Use it for grass, soft stems, harvesting and light clearing work. It is not a hatchet, pry bar or soil tool.

How should I care for Takemoto sickles and garden tools?

Wipe grass, sap and soil from the blade after use, dry the steel before storage and oil carbon steel lightly if the tool will sit unused. Keep the edge protected and avoid storing wet tools in a shed or toolbox.
