Kumagai Kajiya is a tenth generation blacksmith workshop based in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture, in the Sanriku fishing region of northeastern Japan. The workshop has spent generations forging tools for fishermen, divers, and farmers who need gear that holds up to daily, hands on work, and that same durability carries over into their line of garden tools.
This compact sickle is built for cutting grass and clearing weeds in tight spots around a pond, garden bed, or yard. The stainless steel blade holds a sharp edge through overgrown grass and stubborn weeds while resisting rust from repeated exposure to wet soil and water. A floating handle design means the tool stays on the surface rather than sinking if it slips from your hand near water, a practical detail for pond edges and riverside clearing.
The short overall length keeps the tool light and easy to control, reducing strain on the hand and wrist during repeated cutting motions, and makes it easy to work in narrow spaces standard garden tools cannot reach.
Care Instructions: Rinse off soil and moisture after each use and dry the blade completely before storing, especially after work near water. The stainless steel resists rust, but keeping it clean and dry extends the life of the edge. Maintain sharpness with a fine water stone as needed. Use this tool for cutting grass and weeds only.
