This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in Metalworking.

Need to chop and drop some unwanted plants or harvest some grain?  Let's forge a sickle!

 
 

Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Forge a sickle blade
  - Use hard steel like a leaf spring
  - Visibly sharp

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The project underway
  - The finished project
 
If you settle for what they are giving you, you deserve what you get. Fight for this tiny ad!
