Crane neck sickle - Twisted sickle:

• The gardening sickle remains one of the most efficient and satisfying ways to cut back grass and weeds by hand. Its timeless design has remained largely unchanged for centuries—and for good reason.
• This version features a sharpen-able raked blade that allows for clean, low cuts near the ground, all without forcing you to fully bend over. It's ideal for gardeners who want efficiency with less strain.
• The sickle excels at trimming grass, soft plants, and weeds around delicate flowers or vegetables—places where powered tools might damage nearby plants.
• Lightweight, simple, and time-tested, this tool is a must-have for anyone maintaining an organic or hands-on garden.
• Alternative names for Japanese sickles with twisted or crane-like necks include nejiri kama, which translates to "twisted sickle," referring to the curved handle, and crane neck sickle (tsurukubi kama), directly describing the elongated, angled, neck-like shape of the tool. This design is ideal for weeding and cultivating around shallow seed rows. These are specialized versions of the more general kama, a traditional Japanese sickle used for both farming and as a martial arts weapon.
