I remember Lynn talking about this back in March. Lynn, what didI got a straight snath and 24" grass blade from scythesupply.com. I
you end up with and where did you buy it?
got what they call 'the outfit', which includes a whetstone and
holder, peening jig, and The Scythe Book (interesting book; it's
amazing that someone can write so much about scythes).
I don't know if I mentioned it, but I have an old (very old)scythe
with a long, heavy, curved snath and a heavy blade. I could never get
the blade to hold an edge, and the whole thing was so heavy that I
never used it. This one is so much nicer. Very lightweight.
Swinging a scythe is a whole-body movement, so is less tiring for me
than the string trimmer. But it does require some shoulder strength
to thwack it through the grass.
