Try this high-quality, lightweight, Japanese grass sickle/sythe called a Kama. Used for everything from trimming around beds and pathways, to mowing small amounts of cover crops, to harvesting greens and flowers. Once you start with this well-balanced tool you won't want to stop. 6.5" blade (very sharp!) with 13" maple handle. Many of you may recognize this as a commonly used weapon in Asian martial arts, but then that is another story altogether.
