Mini Sickle

Small, sharp, and borderline addictive. The Niwaki Mini Sickle is the ultimate ‘how did I ever live without this?’ addition to your tool roll.

Crafted in Japan with a single-beveled carbon steel blade, this is precision personified. It’s the perfect size for those high-satisfaction tasks, like surgically removing weeds from between paving slabs or harvesting your morning asparagus (it’s particularly brilliant for spears). It’s nimble, it’s razor-sharp, and it makes quick work of the garden details that others might overlook.

Designed for right-handers—or the particularly coordinated, back-handed lefties—it comes with a poplar handle that feels just right in the hand and a vinyl sheath for safe keeping.

Made in Japan

The Ritual (Feeding):

Japanese carbon steel is a commitment to quality, and like all good things, it requires a little devotion. To avoid chips, keep it away from wire, metal, stone, or plastic. When you’re cutting, aim for a diagonal slice across the fibres rather than a straight chop—it’s kinder to the plant and the tool.
