Looking for a sickle...?

A small handheld sickle. NOT one of the big scythes just a small sickle. Specifically a site that has them for sale.

Update:

Already checked the local hardware stores here and they don't even know what I'm talking about (weird too becasue I live in an Ag-heavy area)...and e-bay is no help because my computer won't let me access the pay-pal site so I can't bey anythng there so that suggtestion is already out of the running...

    Search for sickle on eBay. They sell new, used, and antique tools. I have bought "antique" tools for my own use when I cannot find them locally. Try finding a new handle for an adz (adze). There is a guy on eBay that sells new hickory handles for them that are the best I have seen.

    They're now called "Grass Hooks" for the simple sickle...

    http://www.szaboinc.com/edged.html

    Toward the bottom of the page has a "Battle Sickle" (most likely what you're looking for, though the price is ... outrageous).

    Probably more reasonable, though I didn't see any prices.

    You might check (your city) Ag Hardware (yes... I know what city you live in... This is Hildulf), and ask for a "Grass Hook". They'll likely be more helpful if you ask by their new name.

    Anyway... that's a place to start. And do your searches as Grass Hook instead of Sickle...
