I have many Corona-brand garden tools, made by Bellota for the American
market. They are as good as any I have ever used and very heavy duty,
probably the same Bellota tools marketed in the EU and elsewhere.

Austrian Scythes are becoming popular in the US and though the blades are
imported there are a few new companies making exceptionally good
