For the last 20 years I have been using a basic scythe from Canadian Tire.
It works well and is pretty much indestructible
Cheers
Fred

Rob,
I can't remember the name of the woman who years ago highly recommended the
European hand scythes over the American style sythes. I think the company
she liked best is http://www.themaruggcompany.com
<http://www.themaruggcompany.com/faqhelpvideos.htm> Their site has very good
information and videos about 'how to', and their products. She spoke from a
lifetime of experience and still used them for cutting her fields and lawn,
even during these riper years such as I now have also entered. Otherwise I
would remember her name, a very major contributor to this list. Jerry B
