Description

Long serrated Japanese harvest sickle for tall stems

The Takemoto Sakle 430mm Harvest Sickle is a specialist Japanese harvesting tool for tall stems, grasses, green growth and orchard or field work where extra reach matters. The longer format gives more working distance than a compact hand sickle.

The serrated carbon steel edge helps grip plant material through pull cuts, especially where smooth blades can slide. This page is useful as a comparison while stock is unavailable.

Best suited to

  • Harvesting tall stems and soft green growth
  • Grasses, weeds and field work
  • Growers who want more reach than a compact sickle
  • Pull-cut work where serration helps reduce slipping

Sakle harvest sickle vs compact sickle

  • Choose Sakle for longer reach and harvesting larger patches of soft growth.
