A sickle is a simple peasants tool meant for cutting grain. It is not a particularly efficient weapon but it can deliver a nasty slashing attack and pierce with the end as well. Due to its shape a sickle can be used to hook weapons, shield rims, legs etc. hence the grappling bonus. Sickles were often straightened out into ‘swords’, beaten into shape by a blacksmith during times of strife. Such weapons can be treated as a large knife. A Japanese rice sickle is called a Kama. The hooked blade of a sickle gives it some ability to hook weapons, shields etc.
