The sickle was a farm implement slightly modified and strengthened to make a simple, light melee weapon.[3]
Description[]
This weapon was a reinforced form of a farmer's sickle commonly used to harvest grains. It had a handle to which was attached a blade that was curved in more or less a semicircle, coming to a sharp point.[5]
Usage[]
Because of its shape, the sickle could also be used in trip attacks.[5]
The sickle was preferred by druids and by people who wanted to carry a weapon yet remain inconspicuous to guards.[5]
