◆The best grass cutting sickle, fire-forged◆

The sickle blacksmiths, some of the most skilled in Kochi and Tosa, put their heart and soul into forging and fire-forging each piece.

Each sickle is made by splitting red hot soft iron (base metal) in two in a furnace, sandwiching the steel between them, and skillfully hammering them to make them longer. (*This is not a cheap product made by lightly hammering a composite material.)

It is not a composite material (steel material made by joining base steel and steel using rolling rolls at a factory).

The sickle is repeatedly struck with a hammer, stretched, and fire-forged to remove impurities, break down the structure, and produce a tough, hard steel.

This is the real deal, forged with love and seriousness by an axe blacksmith who never compromises.

◆Beautiful blade with no unevenness◆

The sickle is repeatedly hammered, stretched, and fire-forged to remove impurities and break down its structure, resulting in a tough, hard blade.

The smooth blade created by free forging and the straight, beautiful arc of the cutting edge demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship.

The dignity and beauty unique to high-quality blades are the culmination of some of Tosa's most skilled techniques, including heat treatment, which requires many years of experience and skilled technique.

Furthermore, you can feel the love and warmth that has been poured into it, as if it were a child.

Please come and experience the "HONMAMON" handmade sickles, which incorporate the best of the traditional techniques of Tosa blade making.
