Scythe retailers?

[sawdude]

Anyone know where i can get a full size scythe for a reasonable price? - i mean a new one really not an antique garden ornament.
I've found a web site selling european style scythes but they are a little out of my price range. All i 've been able to find in local DIY shops (sheffield area) are the little one handed scythettes.

The place to get your scythes in the UK is the scythe shop

they have a good selection and keep all the spares. They also run courses on using the scythes and have a rather good book on them

I've no experrience personally, but I know lots of very happy customers of theirs

edit. been thinking about gettin a scythe witha bush blade for work, so looked through their website for the first time in ages. Seems that a couple of friends of mine are making accesories for them now
