This handheld scythe is a game-changer for small-scale gardening and yard maintenance. As someone who has struggled with heavy, bulky tools in the past, I was immediately impressed by the lightweight yet durable construction of this scythe. The sharp, precision-engineered blade slices through tall grass, weeds, and even small saplings with ease, making quick work of overgrown areas.
The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue even during extended use. I also appreciated the thoughtful design that allows the blade angle to be adjusted, enabling me to find the perfect cutting position for different tasks.
The only potential downside I encountered is that prolonged use while standing can be a bit hard on the back, especially for those of us who don't have the strongest core muscles. However, this issue can be easily remedied by taking frequent breaks or working while seated, as the compact size of the scythe makes it well-suited for use from a seated position.
Overall, I highly recommend this handheld scythe to anyone looking for an efficient, maneuverable tool to tackle overgrown areas in their garden or yard. Its performance, ergonomics, and versatility make it a valuable addition to any outdoor enthusiast's toolbox.

Very Well Made and Efficient!
As with all things craft related in Japan, this is an exceptional garden tool. Perfect for hoeing between plants, paths, or other relatively root and stone free areas. It is especially good for cutting weeds in mulch, without disturbing the much! Lovely ergonomic handle, and a carbon steel blade that is hardened. Uses an axe stone to keep it sharp. (Not razor sharp, just not dull!)Pros: Well crafted. Excellent tool handle to cutting edge angle.Cons: Short for Westerners not accustomed to squatting or bending over. For closely spaced plantings it is a bit to long at 4⅞ inch blade length. Hard to weed between intensively spaced carrots, radishes, and turnips!(I am getting a second one to cut in half.)It performs better than any other tool I've had for post planting care of the beds!

The beauty of this tool is that the tip is narrow enough and the blade sharp enough to cut off an individual weed that is growing close to something you care about without doing damage to an adjacent shoot. And if you need to cut off a well established clump of Johnson grass, you can attack with the heel of the blade and slice it off at ground level or slightly below with a couple of strokes. The blade is long enough to clean up emerging shoots with a 4" swath. I now carry it with me when I inspect the rose garden and I can reach under a low growing bush far enough to clear out new weeds growing near the base of the plant without any trouble (or pain), and I can cut off a new broad-leaf weed or a tiny spurge growing between two closely spaced alyssum. It is like doing surgical weed removal with little residual damage.
When I am done, I wipe off the blade and run a ceramic rod sharpener across both sides of the edge to remove nicks and true-up the blade. Then put a drop of oil on it and lightly rub both sides to fully cover the exposed steel. It goes back into the factory sleeve (which looks like it should last a few years before I have to make something to replace it) and it hangs up to await the next use. I have had it for a few weeks and have yet to find a weed that it can't handle with the flick of the wrist. I just ordered another one for a friend.
Well designed, good quality steel, comfortable to use

For 50 years I have used a flying wedge weeder and a narrow furrowing hoe to weed my garden. It was time to try something new. This tool looked promising so I thought I would give it a try. The handle is short, but the blade was sharp when it arrived and the steel is hard enough to hold an edge so long as you don't try to scrape weeds off at ground level when they are growing through asphalt or concrete. The tang and the blade are forged from a single piece of steel so there is no concern that it will break where they come together and the tang is secured to the handle with a pin/rivet so that it cannot slip out, and there is a compression sleeve around the handle where the blade is driven in that places the wood in compression so that it will not split. Many garden tools have a cap that just covers the end of the handle and prevents you from seeing that it is split without doing anything to keep it from splitting. As somebody else pointed out, the blade angle is set so that it is easy to use when you bend over to use it but I find that it is also easy to use when I put down a pad and kneel on the ground to work a local area.Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022
