Can't wait to get my scythe sharpened. Could you share where you learned the technique to use it? I've seen a few online but they were using a one with a straight snath. Mine is curved, but looks different from yours… Not sure if the technique is different. It felt weird with a curved snath.
Sure I will show u how I use it
I would recommend before using a scythe to cover your hands thoroughly with a handcream, then to put on some thin latex gloves and finally working gloves. This precaution will protect your hands from raising painful blisters just after the first strikes of scythe.
Scythes and the Grim Reaper: it's the concept of Death harvesting life. As humans harvest grain with a scythe (an act of reaping), so Death carries a scythe to harvest, too
