Yes, it will, thank you.

Selected User Reviews For Zenport K312 Harvest Sickle, Carbon Steel Blade/Aluminum Handle
Several Zenport sickles in comparisonbr>br>History: The K315 brush clearing sickle was the first Zenport sickle I purchased, and I reviewed it here. As a result, this review has been updated to reflect the new models and configurations that I have purchased since then. Brush clearing (K310, K315) is a traditional longer sickle shape, which is the main difference between the two blade styles. The harvest sickle (K311, K312) has a thicker, shorter blade and is heavier. In my experience, harvesting with a brush clearing sickle is actually better, because the heavier blade can go through 1/2" branches in one blow, and 3/4"-inch branches in two. In a few hits, 1" branches appear. br>br>Details on the blade: All sickles are asymmetrically sharpened, similar to how Japanese sushi knives are flat on one side and sharp on the other. They're easier to sharpen, which is a plus. However, in heavier materials, such as thick grass or branches, this configuration allows for a slight sideways movement. Handle Specifications: br>br> In my K315 review, I discovered that the orange handle loosened after being used in a heavy downpour, which was remedied by wrapping the handle with Type 2 nylon cord, which adds significant grip, which I only discovered when I switched to one that didn't have it. All of my Zenport sickles will have a nylon cord wrap added to them.

What a sickle! I live on the fourth floor. This sickle can handle the abuse of 59 acres of land that requires constant yard work! The blade is sharp and tough, but unlike other steel sickles, hatchets, or machetes I own, it rusts slowly. After purchasing a single, I decided to purchase the entire 12-pack. This is for heavy brush and branch cutting, and I'm good to go for the rest of my life.
Although the cheesy sheath is more like a plastic envelope, you're not going to keep it in there anyway. Trimming, shaping, and shaping are all made much easier with this shape. and so forth.
