 For anyone who may want to try a scythe...

https://scythesupply.com/build-a-custom-outfit.html

Do it. Read about blade selection. Don't try to jump in with a longer blade, because if you're new to it, it'll go poorly. Your body and mind have to learn. Peening is work and takes time. You'll want a Schroeckenfux anvil anyway, so might as well get it now.

When you get it right, it is no bullshit a near-spiritual experience. The perfect balance of mind, body, and engineering. You don't want to stop. The world would be a better place if everyone mowed with a scythe.
