I was shopping for a new scythe blade when I found this beautiful and incredibly long competition scythe blades.

In the video, they seem to be judged not just on time but also on how well the area is mowed. I find this fascinating.

This video has proven to me that I could cut my grass in under a minute, instead of spending about 30 minutes with a stupid petrol thing (which I do as little as I legally can). I wonder how easy it is to own and learn to use a scythe.

It takes some time. The biggest problem most people have is that they run out of ankles quite quickly.

do not hit second ankle with scythe
