A steel sickle used to harvest crops or cut grass. Has an AoE with each swing.

Notes

The Steel Sickle is a tier‑3 tool used for harvesting crops and cutting grass, with an area‑of‑effect on each swing that makes it effective for clearing larger patches of vegetation in a single pass. It belongs to the tool category and trains your Gathering skill when used, which helps increase efficiency as you harvest. Since the sickle costs 20 calories per use and has a maximum durability of 2,000, keeping your calorie supply high and maintaining a balanced diet with good housing will help you earn skill points faster to keep this advanced tool in constant production.
