Grandpa taught me how to mow - but folks that can make good scythes are very rare these days. Deep respect to your blacksmithing skills!!

Not rare at all, plenty of skilled bladesmiths. They just don't make scytes because there isn't a relevant market anymore. The shape is easy to form and as you can see here , without much care to the quality of the result. Thus any generic smith can do a scyte. Making an exceptional one (not seen here) would require one of the exceptional smiths, that will use soft and hard steel and a proper tempering for an amazing long lasting sharp blade

In age 74 the grass cutting with the scythe in my garden under the trees is one of my few male pleasures, but I have seen the scythe making the first time in my life and I watched it with the curiosity. Working with the computer need some pause and grass mowing is excellent ecxercise, especially if you do not have to, but still you can . I was working one year in Sweden -in one factory construction project- some 10 years ago and I brought to my country (due to high quality) two their brushes for the floor sweeping. Swedes in Goetheborg airport were looking at it smiling slightly , and I had to pass it through the special procedure for oversized luggage. After landing, I was able to retrieve my brushes only after two weeks, because the airport services were searching the items thoroughly -apparently expecting to discover something more unusual there. I told my wife : do not touch it , it is for me only. So we are using it both up to now, and my wife is thinking to buy the same one or something similar. Today I look with the some sadness when I see , what the swedish politicians did with the Sweden I have seen. Stary

When I was younger I used a scythe a lot for clearing. It's really effortless and much faster than a string trimmer. This is a much better blade than these modern stamped ones on the market. Again great work my man your an artist with a hammer.

The high and mighty experts in these comments, wow, yes he's doing some things wrong but god dammit he DID it! He went and made a scythe blade and it works, yes he stoned it wrong and his handle is too damn short but it's a blade, it cuts, it works, he made it and he was proud to show us even with all the little things he's maybe not the proudest of. I for one am proud to watch the video, his creation. This was very cool, thank you for uploading.

2 ha? Do you mean the whole field the size of 2 ha, or just around it, on it's borders, and did you do it at once, in one day or in few days? Cause if you can do it in one day you're a monster! lol I own 3 scythes. One beautifully made by a local Serbian blacksmith, one Slovenian and one from Bosnia. I think that Slovenian and Austrian are similar and are industrially made, not handmade by blacksmiths, but still great scythes. I use all three them very often to cut weeds or to cut some nice grass to give to my pigs to eat. I use Slovenian one for weeds, Bosnian is the cheapest one so I use it for rough weeds or on rough terrain cause it can get damaged and I use the one that was made by a blacksmith for the fine work cause it's the best and the most expensive one :D

So I can really appreciate seeing how it is made since I have spend quite a bit of time using scythes much like this one. I prefer them over the modern, often bulkier versions we also had available.

Thank you for sharing this. We recently bought a house with two acres that need mowed. Most of it can be done with a tractor, but there are a couple of small hills that might be dangerous, so I've been watching videos on mowing with a scythe. I'll probably buy one, but what kind of aspiring blacksmith would I be if I didn't make my own. Thanks for showing the steps you went through, I think I can figure it out from here and appreciate the detailed video.

Thanks, that is great! My takeaways from this video was that the blade should be hardened, and probably made from a more high carbon steel. BUT tempered back, probably beyond light blue or something like that, so it can stand the peening. Unhardened, it's too soft.

Fantastico! Mi hai fatto tornare indietro di parecchi anni, a quando mio padre mi insegnò ad usare la falce, a batterla ed affilarla. Grazie!

Косовище под него коротковато, оптимальные размеры: косовище должно быть почти в рост косаря, а нижняя рукоять на уровне пупка

Most folks have no idea what a pleasure it is to cut grass with a scythe. I only used it once more than 20 years ago and I still remember smell of grass and singing of that scythe. Best workout you can have! Get a scythe and cancel your gym membership. You swing your back while mowing and it's best way to work on them love handles plus it's a work out for pretty much your whole upper body. You will have so much fun with it, you will want to cut your neighbors grass for free.

My neighbor accidentally decapitated a chicken with one so if your find yourself fighting off aggressive poultry and you have literally nothing else at your disposal I suppose a scythe would make an okay weapon!
