Literally everyone (including me) in my neighborhood uses lawn services, so there is almost never a time when there isn't a mower or leaf blower being operated *somewhere*. I am imagining a world of scythes and rakes. So beautiful. So silent.

I entirely agree. The sound of them is very annoying I must say, filling the air, dominating conversations between folks, and lingering on for long into the afternoon before they finally cease. Also, although fossil fuels are supposedly nowhere near being depleted, it irks me a lot how much decadent waste is caused by the use of all of these machines: not just the amount of fuel they use, which could be better used elsewhere, but even the cost of manufacturing. Added to that, is the same mentality then demands 'gyms', and 'workout machines', all swallowing up huge resources in the cost of their manufacturing, plus the cost of the manufacturing of the car plus fuel that it uses to drive the same idiot to the needless gym. All they had to do was buy a broom, or a scythe, or a bow saw! Stupid, dumb, young species!!

We use a lawn service because atm we have no access to a vehicle and the nearest gas station is 5 miles away. But I might just get a scythe and use that. It's gives me something to do and it seems oddly relaxing, plus its great exercise.

When your scythe blade is really, really proper sharp, so sharp that it can slice through a sheet of paper set against it, there really are few things in life which are more satisfying than the ease with which you will slice through the highest OR shortest of grass at speed. It really puts a smile on one's face the whole time. Maybe God really DID mean us to live this way..

You know when you go to the barbers, ad they get that little knife out to scrape it against the soft hairs at the nape of your neck and around your ears, and it scratches you in a really ticklish, but pleasurable way? I get the feeling that's how the grass feels when it's cut like this... Like a homoerotic encounter with the man who cuts your hair.

Did he use a hot towel and massage the grass before he did this?

It's an ASMR video, literally.

This is the best thing i have ever seen.

0:45 Sounds like a Sprinkler. Very Gardeny sound to hear & tranquil. Serendipitous.

I have used scythes a lot. Never attempted to cut grass this short with one before. Usually cut larger and thicker weeds with it or tall hay.

When your the grim reaper but you still have to mow

I fucking love that sound. Not just the cutting, but the sharpening as well. Fuck, i need a job.

Wonderful. Reminds me of watching the scything of the lawns of Topkapi Palace in Istanbul when I was there many many moons ago.

I remember when me and my big brothers mowed the lawn with scythes. After a while we did enough chores to buy a push mower it was easier having the push mower combined with two scythes and it was also faster

I am convinced I need one too! :-)

I’m amazed how close you can get to the fence! I’d have just jammed the tip in the wood and bent it probably. Amazing control!

Love it. Love the silence of it. (Person who "has to" operate a petrol strimmer for hours every summer).

Never used a scythe myself, they seem to be amazingly efficient. One question I have though is do the really need to be sharpened as regualarly as this or did you not quite get the edge you wanted on it the first time round? Cheers.

I used one yesterday, what i had to grip was two rusty metal poles, even with gloves on i have blisters on my hands, a proper area of my thumb lost skin and i somehow popped the blisters in my sleep, now they're ugly looking And i never got told of having to sharpen it every few minutes, i had to cut down so much grass, with the cut grass going on top of the grass, camouflaging it, for about 6 hours with 10 min breaks and one 20-30 min break, it was like 7 square meters and i had to cut it with a dull blade..

@maxdecphoenix

You're correct. Highly likely the edge want up to snuff at the start. There are many different scythes of different degrees of hardness. American blades are made of a high carbon steel, that is filed to create an edge. You need a really aggressive stone to do anything to them. The Austrian blades are made of a much lower carbon. while generally the edge is hammered, how much depends on exactly what you're cutting. For lawn (actual blades of limp grass) the edge is hammered very thin, thin to the point you can manipulate the very edge with finger pressure, then stone it to get a bevel. Such a flimsy edge is bad for tougher vegetation because it can actually chip and break. With a freshly peened blade though, in lawn, no. You shouldn't need to stone it frequently, especially on a patch this small. I suspect, this blade hasn't been peened in some time, or has been peened with jigs (which give a good 'bramble edge', but nothing close to a 'lawn edge'). To remedy that, you have to stone the blade quite regularly. Even with the peening jigs, its difficult to get a "lawn cutting edge". Its just something that has to be done free hand.

honestly I respect this much much more than an electric mower/weed eater or one of those stupid non-electric mowers.

👍, "I most definitely want a Scythe now". Reel mower can only get so high. That Scythe will take care of the high weeds. 🙂

That’s some healthy grass

I mow almost three acres on the farm I live on. Even with a 48 inch cut deck zero turn, it takes a good two hours. I have other stuff to do besides just scythe all week long, lol. That being said, I've used them plenty. There just don't seem to be as many hours in the week as there were 30-40 years ago.

Welcome back to another episode of "Where quarantine boredom has taken me!"

I used one of these as a kid & it's easy.

He got that "lay in the grass no problem " grass

In Albania we do the same way. This tool in Albanian is over 1000 years old. It is called KOSA and the one you use to sharpen is called BRUS.

I just finished scything my lawn. It rained earlier so while the grass was wet I grabbed my scythe and gave the grass a "haircut." My "lawn" appears to be much larger than yours though.

I watched one video of this. And now my every 2nd recomended vid is mowing lawn.
