Or if you don't have a sickle... My nettles get attacked with a big stick - nettle-thwacking is seriously therapeutic
And I've found that a spade or a hoe is pretty effective too: slash them, bash them, and chop any defiant stems.
Mind, it's not very NEAT - personally I don't want to collect the nettles, I just want to kill them!
