Scythes & Scything

[Chad Knepp <cgknepp AT gmail.com>]

Botan's site is the Minnesota one @
<http://www.onescytherevolution.com/> but is currently closed for mail
order due to this being the busy season.  In terms of US suppliers,
I'd recommend him way over Scythe Supply who are very nice folks but
have fairly consistently shipped incorrectly fitted rigs to myself and
friends, also the Swiss and Canadian snaths incorporate a lot of
Peter's ideas and are much nicer/ergonomic than the Scythe Supply one.
 Also Lehmans <http://www.lehmans.com/> is now selling a Canadian
snath similar to the Vido's modeled by Ashley (?).
