Used in Japan for hand-harvesting rice, but some bright spark realised that the same thing works brilliantly for cutting down herbaceous perennials and grasses in ornamental gardens.
Serrated blade copes with tough, dry stalks: grab a handful, cut with a sawing action. Covers more ground than you would 'chop, chop, chopping' with secateurs. Makes for a healthy change of motion for the cutting hand and wrist.
