How long did you have to wait for your scythe? It took about six months in 2021 of waiting to get one, due to snath manufacturing delays in canada. Love it around trees and certain areas where i want to retain full length clippings but still need a mower until i figure out an appropriate blade for it.

Wasn't too bad for me though I was a bit worried because I needed it before fire season was in full-swing. ~35 days from order, June 1 to 1st week of July (onescytherevolution.com).

Yeah real great for navigating around trees. And avoiding other natural plants that grow in the middle of grasses allowing them to flower and provide food for pollinators/arthropods.

This year I'm looking at getting a peening hammer and related tools to improve the blade. The one I have is quite soft. A second blade would be nice for thicker black-berry, bramble type stuff.
