Not Rob, but Scythe Supply sells curved snaths; that's where my first 
one came from.  Same guy that made it is still working for them as 
recently as last week.  When I finish here will go look at their site 
and see what I can find; it's never been the easiest to navigate.

I'd think Marugg would offer one, too.

I looked at their scythe after the fire but quickly decided against 
it.....felt like it would need constant adjustment (loose), didn't like 
the feel of the metal, didn't seem as easy to handle as wood and 
certainly not as comfortable, plus the blade was funky, compared to what 
I'd known before.
