Scythe vs Weedeater

[motownbrowne]

I love my Austrian scythe. Way different than the american versions hanging in barns and antique stores.

It's a light, sharp, fast tool that is a joy to use. I've cut hay and straw with mine, cleared brush up to 1/2" and trimmed around fruit trees, fence lines, buildings, etc.

I recommend them to anyone who likes quality tools and can figure out how to maintain them.

Mine was made in Austria and has an aluminum handle. It used to be a joy to use when I was 40 (gotta pace yourself) but not any more.
