Flax Sickle
Flax Sickle
A masterclass in Japanese craftsmanship.
The legendary Toyotomi Kozan sickle isn’t just a tool; it’s a quiet obsession. Forged using traditional techniques, this curved beauty is designed for those who take their harvesting seriously—whether you’re tackling flax, gathering herbs, or tidying up soft-stemmed plants that have overstayed their welcome.
While most flax cutters are content with basic stainless steel, this one opts for premium Japanese High Carbon Steel. It’s tempered for longevity and features a clever ‘back bar’ for added strength, ensuring it remains frighteningly sharp and remarkably lightweight at just 90g. It’s the kind of tool that makes you feel more like an artisan and less like a weekend warrior.
A note for the initiated: The serrated blade is a specialist. It works on a pull-stroke and thrives on fibrous plants. It is not a wood saw. Please, for the love of the craft, resist the urge to hack or saw at anything woody. Use it as intended, and the blade will stay true, sharp, and perfectly intact.
Traditional, functional, and deeply satisfying to hold. Once you’ve experienced the precision of a Kozan, there’s no going back.

“I wish I had discovered this years ago. Made the perfect gift for the man who ‘has it all’. Beautifully crafted, I was pleasantly surprised how heavy and sharp it was. Would buy again.”

“I love the easy access both sides, the height was sufficient to grown runner beans on a tall mesh frame and it’s very easy to put together but may need two people to lift the net over the framework. Just love it.”

“I have one and it is a game changer. Enough pockets to totally fit all the tools I wanted to carry. It's great to have them all in one handy place when I'm working in the garden instead of floating around in the bottom of the wheelbarrow.”

“Where has this tool been all my life? It is awesome, works brilliantly, even with older dried out flax. Literally like a hot knife through butter."
