Iron Sickle

Tool

An iron sickle used to harvest crops or cut grass.

Notes

The Iron Sickle is a tier-2 harvesting tool used to gather crops and cut grass, training the Gathering skill with each use. It fits into the mid-game tool progression, offering improved durability (1000 uses) over basic tools while consuming 20 calories per swing. Because it deals only 0.2x damage to animals, it is strictly a harvesting implement, not a weapon — keep a separate tool for defense.
