No pulling out my back trying to parse mugwort from my oregano!The sharpest part is great for stabbing right into the heart of the roots and severing anything stubborn enough to hang on. Clearing out lemongrass and any other shallow weeds without harming my herbs was also very easy because of how much control this blade affords. Now I’m even thinking of getting one with a longer handle for the larger ornamental shrubs which require more reach. But for my veggie & herb garden, this one is light, comfortable, and pretty efficient as it is.Keep in mind that this one is designed for right handed users. If you’re a leftie, Amazon does carry Hounenkihan left handed nejiri kama hoes, but it’s a separate listing. Overall, I can vouch that the Hounenkihan blade on this is very sharp, strong, and easy to use. Just wear gloves and watch your feet - don’t want to weed off a few toes while your in the thick of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Garden Tool for Laying A Flagstone Patio on Paver Sand or Crushed Granite! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 17, 2020* This is a perfect tool. I helped to lay flagstones to create a patio, and it's so easy to move the sand or crushed granite around before setting the flagstones in their perfect positions. It's also a wonderful surface weeder that acts like a weeding hoe, but allows one to get closer to the ground to give more pressure on the blade for more deeply-rooted weeds. I've been using this type of Japanese sickle for at least a couple of decades, and I can't garden without this tool in my garden tool stash. There is a Japanese garden tool known as a "kama sickle," and it's truly the best for weeding or cutting back perennials. I won't garden without it! Go and search for it. It's sold on Amazon. I have given my adult kids their own kama sickles. The handles come in at least two lengths, and I find the 12" handle length to be the more versatile because the blade is longer than the 6" handled kama sickle. Once you try the kama sickle, you'll start to put your other hand tools in the back of your garden shed. The kama sickle has a serrated blade edge. Be sure to always wash dirt off your blades and other metal garden tools that come in contact with soil to prevent rusting. Dry them before storing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have tool for garden. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 19, 2026* Works really well with clearing weeds quickly must have tool for garden. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gardening Weeding Sickle Very Sharp Edge Manual weeders [Made in Japan] Japanese Garden Weeder Hand Hoe Hori Hori garden knife - NISAKU NJP650 The Original Hori Hori Namibagata Japanese Stainless Steel Weeding Knife, 7.25-Inch Blade - HAOHIYO ASANO Japanese Ninja Claw Rake and Cultivator (Basic Pack) (05080) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70406117-hounen-japanese-weeding-sickle-4-7-inch-thick-composite-steel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70406117-hounen-japanese-weeding-sickle-4-7-inch-thick-composite-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
