Gardening Sickles

I carry this with me when I'm checking the fire trails in my forest for fallen branches rather than lugging a chainsaw about with me. Initially, I purchased a pruning saw from a well-known gardening brand, but it was hopeless. I challenged my woodworking students to cut a small piece of Jarrah with the common brand. Not one of them was able to do it. After purchasing my Silky, I issued the same challenge and not one student failed it. The Silky was like a hot knife through butter. This isn't a saw just for pruning a suburban backyard, it also works brilliantly in the rough.

I use these for styling my Bonsai...neat...sharp...many blade shapes to suit each circumstance. Well made. Exactly what I wanted. Excellent value for money. Usual great service from JTA. Very happy customer.

These drill bits are surgical! Really the cleanest cutting brad point bit you’ll find. Suburb in Australian Hardwoods. Many thanks JTA

The Menace is an awesome blade to have in the shop for de-barking through to general carving.
Very impressed with it so far

Was a great evening and never seen my hand plane and then chisel perform so well...

I liked the look of this bigger one with the tough sheat, and it didn’t disappoint! I wear it almost all the times walking my property and it is invaluable digging up unwanted weeds right from deep at the roots. Planting seedlings, slicing veggies cleanly from the base. I even attacked a stand of lantana with ease the other day!

I was clearing a bit of our back yard to make space for raised garden beds. This great little tool cut through the grassy layers quicker than the pick-axe. Easy to use and lightweight enough for me.

Beautifully made, extremely sharp and efficient drill bits which perform as I expect. I have several sizes including the 13 and 15 mm drill bits.

I love using this little sickle! Its serrations make it super sharp and effective for cutting tough clumps of grass, weeds, rushes, and shrubby growth.
It's great for quickly cutting an armful of vegetables or grass to feed the chooks, goats, guinea pigs etc.
It's early spring here, so I haven't yet used it for harvesting, but I can tell it will make light work of cutting down sweetcorn stalks, potato haulms and tough brassica stems.
Just the thing for clearing a patch of docks etc, or to chop and drop a stand of comfrey or other mulch and compost materials.

Top service from everyone at JTA. Purchase arrived in the UK very quickly, and packed well.

The jig and plane both look great, cannot wait to use them with the blanks kindly sent from JTA.

Would recommend both the shop and products to everyone. Thanks.

Excellent Japanese quality, a replacement blade for my 10+ year old 240mm GOMBOY, the original blade was still sharp, I however wasn’t and had bent the blade being too vigorous and not paying attention, it was an easy replacement, perfect as described, fast postage and delivery, excellent experience and highly recommended! Best in the business! AAA++

Holds my art pencils and is super easy access

It was a perfect way to spend a day. Expert tuition no matter what your own personal level of experience, great outcome achieved by all participants - certainly for me and from what I observed for everyone else. Great access to all materials to continue Kumiko post the course. Unreserved recommendation to all to take this course yourself.

Good for gifting 😁
