Among our specimens a particular importance is given to the 13th century A.D. sickle with a maker's marks evident on the blade. Like many knives, sickles sometimes carry a cutler's mark. Sickles were produced in various sizes depending on the type of work they were to be used for. The large examples would have been used for clearing weeds or harvesting hay or crops. The small sickles would have been used for cutting herbs or similar. -
