Small Serrated Harvesting Sickle - 100mm Carbon Steel Blade - Precision Picking Knife

The Small Harvesting Sickle is a specialised hand tool designed for precision and efficiency in the garden and field. This compact sickle features a serrated, curved picking knife edge, ideal for quickly and cleanly severing stems and stalks with minimal physical effort. The blade is manufactured from high-quality 100mm carbon steel, ensuring excellent edge retention and durability, while the 150mm wooden handle offers a comfortable, secure grip for repetitive harvesting tasks.

The design focuses on manoeuvrability, allowing the user to work within dense plantings to harvest individual items while minimising accidental damage to the surrounding plant or unripened growth.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
