Sickle stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Sickle is a gathering tool in the Misc category (item ID #-1368584029, console shortname sickle). When harvesting, it clears a american beech node in 22 swings while keeping 83% of the yield. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

A very sharp curved cutting weapon. While its traditional role was to cut grass, this tool is also extremely versatile at cutting throats, perhaps trees, too.

Acquisition profile (game files): Uncraftable in vanilla Rust (0 loot tables, 0 downstream recipes)
Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
Bench repair & durability cap: Full repair costs 40 Metal Fragments (zero rare bodies) while capping max condition by 20%
Conveyor & sorting profile: Filter by shortname sickle in Industrial Conveyors for automated box sorting

Sickle crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

In Rust, Sickle has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.

Where it sits

The Sickle is one of the 11 gathering tools; Rust classifies it under the Misc inventory category.

Only two of the 6 wood-cutting tools keep more wood than the Sickle.

The Sickle keeps 83% of the wood, as does the Hatchet.

How Sickle compares to related misc in Rust

When comparing Sickle against related misc in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

Sickle	Misc	1 per slot	World loot / gather	No blueprint	Not recyclable
Stone Hatchet	Tools	1 per slot	Crafted by hand	10 scrap (Table)	Not recyclable
Salvaged Axe	Tools	1 per slot	Workbench Level 2	60 node / 90 path	Not recyclable
