I have numerous banana plants that need constant maintenance. Before purchasing this sickle, I had always used a machete. The machete worked okay but required clearance around the other plants to swing. With this sickle and the hook shape, it's easy to draw it quickly toward you an trim the banana plants easily without damaging the surrounding plants. Sometimes it's the simple things but this works well for my purpose. Seems quite sturdy and well built.
