The strongest sickle that can remove branches.

Active in Forest. Thick blade sickle 180mm  handle length 360mm.

It is a tough sickle that is also called "Kigama". The blade is made of 3mm thick steel, hardened to a hardness of HRC 60 degrees or higher, and finished sharply using a suki finish (a technique in which the polished blade is further shaved into a concave shape to improve its sharpness and remove grass). The handle is made of durable oak with a butt finish, making it easy to apply force and prevent your hand from slipping out.
The thick sickle type can remove branches about 5 mm. Active in the rough mountains and fields. Unlike a machete, it has a single edge and emphasizes sharpness, so if you use it forcefully on thick wood, the blade will chip. be careful.

A Thick sickle is a great ally for tough work such as removing branches from mountains. It is the strongest sickle with a durable handle. On the other hand, it is heavier than thin or medium-thick sickles, so although we have designed a handle with a butt so that it is easier to apply force, it is tiring to work for long periods of time. 

*Can be resharpened and repaired.
