Bellota Serrated Grass Sickle: Precision Cutting for Tree-Friendly Weeding

On a homestead, every young tree counts — and keeping grass trimmed without damaging trunks or roots can be tricky. That’s where the Bellota Serrated Grass Sickle shines. This curved, lightweight hand tool offers precise control when working close to delicate plants. Whether you're managing spring growth or autumn dieback, it's a go-to tool for quiet, fuel-free cutting in permaculture zones, orchards, or food forests.

Why It’s Tough Enough for Tough Kraut
• Ultra-Sharp Serrated Edge: The fine-toothed blade slices through dense or damp grass like a saw, making it easier to clear growth around young trees without tugging or tearing at the soil.
• Tempered Steel Blade: Made with hardened Bellota steel, this sickle stays sharp through repeated use. It’s built to last — even when tackling fibrous weeds or overgrown patches.
• Compact and Manoeuvrable: At under 400 grams, it's light enough for long days in the orchard but sturdy enough to trust. The slim, ergonomic handle gives excellent grip control for precision cuts.
• Homestead-Tested in Portugal: We use this exact model during autumn and spring to clear grass near our baby trees. It's become an indispensable part of our seasonal orchard care toolkit.

Proven Finishing Touches
• Praised for Precision: "Excellent for weeding around plants without harming them" — one of many reviews noting its accuracy and ease of use.
• Lightweight Yet Durable: Weighs just 320g, with a balanced feel that’s ideal for extended cutting sessions.
• Reliable Edge Retention: Serrated teeth stay sharp longer than smooth blades — a bonus in remote or off-grid setups.

Why We Love It
Fuel-free, whisper-quiet, and surprisingly satisfying to use. The Bellota sickle is a small but mighty tool that gets the job done without tearing up the soil. It helps us maintain a tidy understory layer and encourages us to slow down, observe, and care for our trees with intention. It's a simple tool that embodies the permaculture principle of doing more with less.
