Experience the premium Japanese garden sickle, the Kikumatsu AnglePro Single-Edged Weeding and Harvesting Sickle. Expertly crafted in Banshu, near Kobe, Japan, this weeding and harvesting sickle combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced features for modern agricultural use.

Optimised Angle for Versatile Use in Weeding and Harvesting

The Kikumatsu AnglePro Single-Edged Sickle features a uniquely designed angle for versatile use. It is ideal for both swinging cuts and precise hand-held cutting in weeding and harvesting tasks.
This garden sickle cuts through tough grasses and thick stems with ease, improving efficiency.

“Tsuke Hagane” Technique – Traditional Japanese Blade Construction

This Japanese sickle uses the traditional Tsuke Hagane method, a time-honoured forging technique. Hard hagane steel forms the cutting edge, giving it exceptional sharpness and long edge retention, while softer base steel adds flexibility and support. This structure makes sharpening easier and supports long-term maintenance. It also reduces the risk of chipping and bending, ensuring reliable performance over time.

Craftsmanship and Medium Blade Thickness

Each Kikumatsu AnglePro weeding and harvesting sickle is hand-sharpened by skilled artisans. The blade achieves a finely honed edge for smooth cutting.
The medium blade thickness balances strength and control. This allows the sickle to handle different plant sizes without losing sharpness.

Quench-Hardened Single-Edged Blade with Suki Finish

This single-edged sickle is hardened to over 60 HRC for durability. The traditional “Suki” grind improves sharpness and helps release cut grass.
This feature enhances performance in both weeding and harvesting work.

Ergonomic and Durable Design

The handle is crafted from natural oak wood for comfort and stability.
Combined with high carbon steel, this Japanese garden sickle delivers reliable performance for repeated use.

A Century of Craftsmanship – Takemoto Sickle

The Kikumatsu AnglePro Single-Edged Sickle carries the legacy of Kikumatsu Takemoto. His family has produced Japanese sickles for over a century.
These weeding and harvesting sickles are known for their slender and durable curved blades. Each tool reflects the heritage of Banshu craftsmanship.
