the sickle does a marvelous job i must admit the petrol strimmer has rather taken over from my sickle although i still use my old handed down scythe for cutting down nettles it still does a good job
like your sickle it relies on hand power or power to your elbows whichever you prefer don't cut you fingers sharpening it

I have a short handled sickle which is absolutely brilliant for when harvesting the comfrey leaves - best thing I have used to tackle the job
