For a practical tool avoid an old, antique American scythe- its a different animal from a European scythe. A European-style scythe is a truly wonderful thing. You'll find yourself looking for reasons to go scything. Takes a bit of practice to get the rhythm of using one and to get the honing and peening technique, but not much.

Marugg, Scythe Supply and Scythe Connection are a few resources.
