The Sickle is a self-explanatory weapon (or, as called in Japan, Kusarigama) in Soulcalibur III. Because it is the default weapon for the discipline of the same name, it has no special effects. The discipline itself is available for custom characters in the Ninja (Aurelia, a SCIII Bonus Character and the main boss of Chronicle 12), Samurai (Ailian, who joins you in Chronicle 9), and Thief (Hunter, a custom character that can be fought in Tales of Souls) classes, all of which need to be Level 20 or higher to learn. It is also available for the Sword Master class by default.
