What is the sickle for?

Abstract: Sickle is a very important agricultural tool in the process of harvesting wheat, rice and other crops. The sickle blade has inclined serrations and a wooden handle at the end, which allows farmers' uncles to quickly harvest the grain that comes home. How to use the agricultural sickle? The use of sickle is very simple. Hold the handle in the right hand, the crop to be cut in the left hand, and the sickle blade cuts backwards. It should be noted that you must be careful not to hurt your hand when using the sickle. First, what is the sickle for?

Sickle, commonly known as cutting knife, is a farm tool for harvesting crops and mowing grass in rural areas. It is crescent-shaped and consists of a blade and a wooden handle. Some blades have small serrations and are generally used to harvest wheat and rice. It is also widely used in some rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

Second, the use of agricultural sickles

1, inspection tool

Prepare a sickle and check whether it is damaged, so as not to affect the work.

Step 2 operate the sickle

Hold the handle in the right hand, hold the crops or grass to be cut in the left hand, and cut the sickle blade backwards.

Step 3 pay attention to safety

When the sickle cuts crops and grass, it should be close to the ground to prevent cutting the left hand. It doesn't need much strength.

4. Repeat the operation

Repeat the action to work according to the action of the sickle.

Third, how to grind the sickle?

1. First, prepare a grindstone. Old grindstones are rare and rarely sold in supermarkets. You can buy it online.

2. Put the millstone in the right place and put a soft thing under it, such as a rag and a loofah. Because the grindstone vibrates from time to time when sharpening a knife, soft objects can reduce the vibration.

3. Then wet the millstone with water. Water acts as a lubricant. Without water, the friction will be extremely large and it will be difficult to grind.

4. Put the sickle on it, grind it first, hold the back of the knife with your left hand, and press the upper part of the knife edge with your right hand, so that the sickle and the grindstone form an angle of 5 degrees, so that the knife edge and the grindstone are closely combined, and then grind it up and down for more than 1 minute. Then grind the second side in the same way.
