Japanese Grass Sickles, Harvesting Sickles, Digging Tools

Picture: Pine and traditional ladder in the Heian Shrine garden, Kyoto

Here you will find a fine selection of traditional Japanese garden tools. It is a pleasure to work with them.

Traditional Japanese sickles are not stainless. The same thing is true today as in years gone by: the best tool blades are made of carbon steel, which simply is not stainless. However, it requires only a little care to keep them from getting rusty. Just dry them after use! From time to time they need to receive a smear of oil. You can sharpen a sickle with a Japanese sickle stone or mini-combination Stone with handle.
