I got this sickle for hacking out some of the heavy brush that shoots up on parts of my property that I don't usually get around to on a regular basis. I started using it and brush started toppling. I encountered a rogue decorative bush, with a trunk about 2 1/2 inches thick. I wanted to trim around it and come back later to take it down. As I was hacking away at vines and thin branches, I missed and hit the trunk. Wood chips flew. I thought why not? and hacked at the trunk. In about 8 well placed hacks, the trunk was chopped through. This is not designed for anything that heavy, but it will do the job if you want.
