sickle
Crescent harvest blade
A sickle is a hand tool with a short handle and curved blade, used for cutting grain or tall grass.
The blade hooks inward, allowing the user to gather stalks and slice them in one motion.
The hammer and sickle symbolizes communist ideology—workers and peasants united.
In medicine, sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to deform into crescent shapes.
