This is an extremely sharp and effective but can be dangerous to use. This sickle (although it is not called a sickle, I believe that is what it would be called in western cultures) is very sharp, easy to use (stooping or on your hands and knees) and cuts through grass, vines and undergrowth, including briars with ease, but requires you to get close to the work. It would be quite easy to cut your leg or opposing arm if you start day dreaming and it could be a serious injury. A large area would be easier to treat with a weed eater tool but for small areas that requires surgical treatment, it is great. I use it to clear out veggie or herb plants without impacting plants right nearby as you can simply slide the blade into tight places and remove plants on one side of the blade without damaging things on the backside.Just don't leave this laying around for the kids or grandkids to find.
