About Banshu Sickles and Takemoto Sickle
The Usugama Sickle is the foundational tool that helped make Banshu sickles famous across Japan. Originating in Hyogo Prefecture, Banshu-gama are rooted in over 250 years of blacksmithing tradition. These ārazor sicklesā were born when swordsmiths like Isuke Fujiwara adapted samurai blade-making techniques to agricultural tools.
The Takemoto family joined this legacy in the early 20th century, founding Takemoto Kama Manufacturing in 1912. Today, the company continues to uphold this tradition through the Kikumatsu Series, premium Sakle tools, and the contemporary TAKEMOTO BROS. lineāblending time-honored craftsmanship with modern performance.
