Rob; where will you buy the scythe? I'm also looking for one, and scythesupply.com is the only place I can find, and they only sell the straight snath.
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.
Johnny's sells a lightweight folding scythe, but I don't know if it's any good....aluminum snath, adjustable wood handles.
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.
