Traditional Farmer Japanese Kama Knife Rosewood Shaft

In feudal Japanese society, farmers held a highly respected status—ranked just below the samurai—and while samurai dominate tales of battlefield glory, it was often the farmer, armed with a simple sickle, who made a crucial difference. Among their iconic tools-turned-weapons was the Kama knife, a curved blade resembling a farming sickle, repurposed for both defense and combat.

This functional Japanese Kama is hand-forged from resilient 5160 spring steel, hardened, sharpened, and ready for cutting practice or practical agricultural use. The curved blade features a reinforced mid-rib, providing enhanced stiffness and strength for demanding tasks.

The handle is crafted from genuine rosewood, with marked notches near the grip area to ensure a comfortable and secure one-handed hold.

A proportionally fitted scabbard accompanies the Kama, designed to protect the blade while ensuring easy carriage and storage.
