Description

Serrated sickle for harvesting and grass cutting

The Takemoto Sakle uses a 180mm back-toothed serrated blade to help grip stems during harvesting and grass cutting.

A 330mm walnut handle and brass fittings give this model its distinctive finish.

Best suited to

  • Harvesting vegetables and soft crop stems.
  • Grass cutting where serrations help hold slippery growth.
  • Gardeners wanting Takemoto's premium Sakle finish.

Serrated vs smooth edge

Choose Sakle when stem grip matters. Choose a smooth single-bevel sickle if you prefer a plain slicing edge and straightforward whetstone maintenance.

Care

Clean, dry and oil the blade. Do not reshape the teeth with a flat stone or general-purpose file; use appropriate serrated-edge servicing.
