It is suitable for cutting tough plants like reeds and silver grass, which are difficult to cut with a Thin Sickle. It is ideal for cutting stubborn weeds from late summer to before winter. |
Thick Sickle |
Thick Sickles, also known as Wood Sickles or Mountain Sickles, are suitable for cutting plants with hard stems and thicker twigs.They are thicker and more robust than Medium-Thickness Sickles, making them less prone to chipping. Due to their thickness, they are heavier than Thin or Medium-Thickness Sickles, allowing the user to leverage the weight for cutting. |

Single-edged sickles have excellent sharpness, making them ideal for cutting vines. However, they are prone to chipping when used to cut small branches, so double-edged sickles are recommended for cutting brush and small branches. |
Differences in thickness among Thin Sickles, Medium-Thickness Sickles, and Thick Sickles |
For double-edged sickles with a blade length of 180mm, the blade thickness of Thin Sickle: 2.5mm, Medium-Thickness Sickle: 3.5mm, Thick Sickle: 5mm |
![]() (In the photo, from left to right, are Thin Sickle, Medium-Thickness Sickle, and Thick Sickle.) The thinner the blade, the sharper and more efficient the cutting performance. However, thinner blades are more prone to chipping. Therefore, it is important to choose the sickle according to its intended use. |
