I recently had a chance to look at some exquisite scythes from Peter
Vido of the Scythe Connection
<http://www.scytheconnection.com/index.html>. Yum! I wish I had some
tall grass to cut to try them out immediately, but its all short and
snow covered at the moment. When gas-powered mowing is no longer an
option, we all had better be prepared with the best tools available.
If you have never had the occasion to use a well-made scythe you don't
know how much fun, easy, and even meditative, it can be.
For Peter scything is a religious experience, and, judging by the videos
of him and his kids moving through tall grass "like butter", it's easy
to understand.
I will soon be adding his superior tools to the Pc Trading Post site,
but until then, go to his site. They will make a gift to treasure by
anyone who uses them.
