Yasai setsu kama, vegetable sickle
£15.00
Ex Tax: £12.50
A small serrated stainless steel vegetable harvesting sickle with a poplar wood handle from Asano Mokkousho of Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. Typically used for harvesting and trimming leafy vegetables, the incredibly sharp, fine, but aggressively serrated blade will make short work of lettuce or brassica stems without being so long as to become snagged or tangled thus potentially damaging other plants when used amongst tightly planted rows. The overall length is about 28cm, the length of the blade about 11.5cm.
Care Advice
Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
- Item Dimensions Total L28, Blade L11.5
- Materials Stainless steel and poplar wood
