Scythe

A scythe is a traditional hand tool used for cutting grass, weeds, and crops. It features a long, curved blade attached to a long handle, or snath, and is swung in a sweeping motion to cut through vegetation at the base. Scythes are essential for clearing overgrown areas, managing tall grass, and harvesting crops in a more controlled and sustainable way compared to motorized equipment. They are particularly useful in areas where noise or environmental concerns make the use of powered tools less desirable. The scythe’s simplicity and effectiveness have made it a long-standing tool in both agriculture and landscaping, allowing for precise, quiet cutting of large areas with minimal disturbance to the environment.
