There are several websites that offer new scythes...but they were a little more than I wanted to spend. Having never done this before I didn't want to go and spend a lot on a new one only to find out that this was not for me!
This old one will work fine. Once I get the technique down I will do some upgrades or get another one. I may need a new blade as you can see this one is pretty rusted.
The handle is in pretty good condition. One of the grips was loose and I quickly fixed it with a hose clamp for now. I will try and figure something a little better for that.
Overall I am pleased with it. I quickly sharpened it a little just so I could test it out. It does indeed work! I am working on cleaning up the blade a little better and making sure everything is tight on it.
Stay tuned for a video coming soon where I will show you how it works!
