Hyrule Compendium Entry

239  (244Master Mode) Vicious Sickle	Description A grim weapon favored by the Yiga. The half- moon shape of the blade allows for the rapid delivery of fatal wounds and serves as a symbol of their terror. Its durability is low.
	Common Locations Gerudo Highlands Gerudo Desert
	Properties Atk 16

Vicious Sickles are the primary Weapon wielded by Yiga Footsoldiers, who either randomly attack Link on his journey or pose as Travelers to lure him in. Their crescent shape allows the wielder to quickly deliver injuries to their target, but they have a low durability. They belong to the Yiga Clan Gear equipment archetype, which is a series of Weapons used by the Yiga.

Since they are made of metal, Vicious Sickles will conduct Electricity and attract Lightning if they are equipped during a Thunderstorm. They also will not burn if exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate, will sink if they are dropped in Water, and can be picked up with the Magnesis Rune.
