This is actually the first time i’ve ever seen a scythe being used for it’s actual purpose, it’s so satisfying omg
So you've seen the grim reaper use it?
@@cheshire_cat387video games most likely
Thats not a scythe its video games@@justarandomguyplayingrando4792

Scythes like these (and their smaller cousins, most popular as a symbol for the Soviet Union, sickles) were also used to harvest wheat and other farm crops in preindustrial agriculture.
He's not cutting grass. He's harvesting it's soul. He's the grim freaking reaper.
It is true, the souls were being harvested
@@GrimReaper-lo1ut Oh shit.
The Green Reaper.

Believe it or not, people mowing their grass with a scythe has been around longer than the Grim Reaper mythos.
Finally someone with a scythe thats not trying to send me back to hell

you get satisfaction, getting to touch grass, fresh air, a look at the sky and some random people

Hold on bro, I gotta go scythe my lawn real quick
12 hours later u got a clean 10 square ft done 😂
Bro my lawn has to real quick my scythe
@@Andrew_Gates5it's actually faster than and average push mower
@@KeithLburns well depends on the yard size it could sure. my yard not a chance. it a quarter acre take 10 mins on a ride mower, push mower is 30-40 if its wet or not i cut after work early morning like 8 or 9 am dew the issue for the push mower. anyways a small strip of land like a town house yea that scythe would be faster.
@@KeithLburns You have to constantly stop and sharpen the blade to continue getting a good cut though.
Mowing grass with a scythe both looks fun, practical, and a good workout, and if you encounter a snake well..I think I'll try this for myself.
Please do! Lots of tutorials here on the channel :)
It’s an amazing workout and it will make you very strong. Such an amazing tool.
I think I would destroy my spine doing it wrong
When I was a child (in the 1960s🇸🇪) my grandparents had a guy coming mowing their lawns, and he only used a scythe. He made it look like a golf course!
My granda, rest his soul, used to cut his grass with a scythe. The man was in his mid 80s and still going out and cutting grass with a scythe. I hold a great deal of respect for those that can and do use this tool.
Mine too :)

@@AleV69692I can't tell whether this is supposed to be an insult in any way or if its just a general statement

@@AleV69692 guess you wanna stay in the stone age
All the old farmers here in the Italian alps use scythes to gather hay for their animals. Gets a longer cut of grass for the flocks and herds and you can cut these steep hillsides. Yes, you can hit things like rocks, roots and saplings but that’s why everyone around here has their own little scythe anvil (I am sure there is some special name for it) that they use to straighten out the large dents or nicks in the blade before sharpening with the stone. It is actually the best tool for these steep hillsides as you can harvest places on your own two feet that you could never safely cut with machines. One guy in our village is still using his great-grandfather’s scythe every day to cut hay or fresh grass for his horses. He says that the blade is just a lot thinner than when he first started cutting with it 40 years ago. How many gas powered lawnmowers are still working for a fourth generation?
Exactly! Those words are like music in my ears!
In croatia my father still uses it sometimes. I did my share of mowing with it aswell
I think it's a sickle
I just use a weed whacker 🙄😅 does basically the same thing as a scythe
@@theATFhow long have you had your weed wacker
Now I FINALLY understand what all my villagers are doing when they're farming
i am from Romania and having a scythe is something normal for people from the country side, and i can tell you, this guy is a pro
Thank you!
i cleared an acre of overgrown back yard grass was 3 feet high with just a scythe and sharpening stone. you get into a rhythm and it goes pretty fast
Not as fast as a zero turn or brush-hog though lol.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 that's true bit try running one of those without any Fuel and see how far you'd Get! 😁 they may be archaic, but once you get the hang of them a well made Scythe works very well and is a Lot Quieter!
Is speed the only factor? If it's enjoyable to do, quiet and a good workout, and is environmentally friendly, why is so important to get done quickly? Also, I scythe my lawn about once a year, so who spends more time cutting grass, me or someone who mows their lawn every week? And can you mower really cut grass 3 feet high?
@@slattergubben6702 I think he's just upset that he has no choice but to ride on a lawnmower.
@slattergubben6702 yeah mowers can cut 3 feet of grass lmfao not that hard just gotta have the deck up high. If not then use a brush cutter. Yeah scythes are awesome but as a job hell nah. Plus your scalping grass constantly. Because it is tiring so your arms to pick up where it was and now your just dragging the scythe like how this dude did in the video. Potentially well obviously scalping the grass
I remember one time I was helping my grandparents, when they really couldn't do their own garden work anymore. My granddad asked me to scythe a small overgrown patch in the side of their yard. He was about to give me instructions how to use the scythe, but I had already learned how to use one a bit elsewhere and started working right away. I still remember how he was visibly surprised and impressed, more so than any words could've expressed.
He was a kind, gentle and supportive man, so getting positive feedback and encouragement from him was not rare in any way, but that time especially stuck to my mind, even to this day.
That's an awesome story. Thank you for sharing. =)
What a beautiful story :) I'm sure you made his day!
I'm sorry for your loss
Beautiful story
I can understand why he was surprised, not many people these days know what a scythe is used for let alone how to use it correctly. Beautiful story man
Despite knowing that a scythe is a farming tool I’ve never actually thought about it being used for farming. I didn’t think it would be so effective
I remember farmers (in the 40s and 50s) cutting each other’s hay fields with scythes in rural Ireland. They did a lot of resharpening during the day. Yes I’m that old.
Now I’m just imagining giants with huge scythes absolutely demolishing ground troops in one sweep in a fantasy movie
Damn
The sound of it slicing the grass is satisfying
Yes! Imagine to have this as the sound of work together with the birdsounds in nature - this is our reality!
It’s fake audio dude lmao
Sounds like Minecraft
@@AceCrickeyProof?
@@mrchung u rlly think its that loud?
Very good technique!
I remember my grandfather used to teach me how to use it properly. The tip would always get stuck in the ground. 😂
Those were the times
This tool is very helpful to do some exercises and good for the environment
When I have a backyard I will definitely buy it
"how would you like your grass cut?"
"Scalped"
Officially my new most liked comment, of course it's basically the lowest quality one in existence 🤣
Edit 2 to spite a person in the replies
IKR. GRass needs height to produce enough photosynthesis for health. Also lowering grass reduces its thermal barrier which can hurt it at night in colder climates. Only certain kinds of grass like to be cut that small. Like the breed in golf putting greens.
Theres a realy easy way to cut the grass longer just ja know lift
That last cut is what a landscaper sees when he has a nightmare.
@@wbass243yeah but like my law gets scorched brown every summer, not a green blade in sight and yet comes back lush every spring. Almost as if grass is tough and doesn't care about how short you cut it.
Cheese ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Extremely intense fat burner too. Look at the moves all muscles in the body are used. In summer holidays used to go to grandpa's house and he always got me to cut the grass with a scythe (land was hilly and very uneven). At the beginning after 1 hour I was totally done but of course I became fitter. Very satisfying experience.
Makes me happy to hear! Do you still scythe?
@@slattergubben6702 not lately due to some commitments but I wouldn't miss the chance!

Scythe comes into its own not for mowing but cutting overgrowth on rougher ground
That is for sure where it shines!
I got a bramble scythe a couple years ago for exactly that reason, and have never looked back :D
Or harvesting souls
Just pray there arent any rocks or misshapen lumps of earth taller than 2 cm or you'll be raking your scythe into something every 2nd swing
Personally, I’ll go with a Kaiser blade. It can handle rougher growth at the expense that it takes a little more work to get an even cut
Instructions unclear, attempted to shave my beard with a scythe. I am now neckless. No neck. Minus one neck. Sans neck. 😢
mr no neck :(

Oof
“Moooommmm, the neighbor is doing it again”
great video!
one small issue though: the people most obsessed with lawns, that certainly compose a the majority of your critics, have no idea of what even is a centimeter
For the record, this is what the Grim Reaper was portrayed to be. Not a omen of death, but merely a farmer of life.
Imagine seeing someone mow their lawn with a scythe.

I could only seeing someone doing it for a hobby on smaller lawns. Larger lawns I feel like they will most definately blow your back out using a scythe. The constant twisting and pressure you need to maintain.
I never realized this was how you cut grass with a scythe. Pretty cool.
Damn brother, that takes some real skill and precision👍😂
Ive never actually sewn a scythe being used. This is so cool. It works so much better than i imagined

A scythe has to be a Easter egg item in a lawn mowing game
It's usually unhealthy for your lawn to cut grass that short, but this is a great demonstration of the capabilities of a scythe! I never knew just how versatile they can be. Just don't have me try one near a house lol
Yea i was gunna say thats dirt left not grass lmao
why is it unhealthy
Only because they're ignoring the 1/3rd rule

I’ve never seen a scythe used properly so it’s cool to see it used how it’s meant to be used!❤
I haven't seen proper scythe technique before, so thanks for that
This guy is an absolute pro. He makes it look very easy.
My grandpa used to use a scythe to cut grass. I loved watching him do it because it was so satisfying and I wanted to do it but I wasn't old enough. It was so cool and fun looking. Now he cats grass with those lawnmower tractors
This looks like a great ab workout.
Imagine having a landscaping company come to your house and this guy shows up.
Ya know what, this looks like a great way to stay active and actually really feel proud of the work when it's done. I like seeing stuff like this.
Extremely satisfying sounds made by the scythe there
I have never seen a scythe used before, that's so cool
i’ve never seen a scythe outside of stardew valley, the grim reaper, and the hands of a pokémon 😅 so this was really cool to actually see in action
This is wonderful to know. In the future, I will need to aerate and overseed my Fescue lawn, which is a tough gass. I can use a wedge to change the lay of the blade to get a close cut beforehand. The lay of my blade gives me a consistent 7.5 cm, or so which seems to suit the Fescue well. Not sure of the exact Fescue species it is, but grows in bunches and each bunch grows in diameter slowly. I do not think it produces rhizomes, so seeding will eventually be needed if any area die off.
Sorry for the ramble, but I went from not really caring about my lawn to being an enthusiast because of moving to a home with a front lawn that is publically visible and mostly from from switching to mowing exclusively with a scythe.
Your channel has been instrumental in helping me understand the proper mechanics. The lawn looks consistently even, I am markedly faster than when I started and I am not nearly as tired at the end. Thank you.
Thanks! Great to hear you have developed your scything!
That thing is surprisingly effective on grass
Maybe i should start using my scythe to do that
It is what it was made for
Love to see it I'm from the country side and I just missed this sound
I'm now understanding how they used to get so much hay put up by hand for the winter in the old days. That thing is sharp as heck and cuts grass like butter.
Right? Long strands of grass as well, easy to rake up to dry
And it's a veeeery satisfying feeling when you use it. I grew up in a village in Russia and when my grandma taught me how to use it, cutting grass for the chickens and goats became my favorite chore to do, I just love the vibration in your hands when you're cutting grass with it
the way you cut grass with it makes it look so satisfying.
As a Scythe I see this as an absolute win.
This may be a bit less efficient than a lawn mower, but you do get some nice exercise. Though basketless.
When the grim reaper reincarnated as a peaceful grass cutting youtube creator:
Shhhh, quiet down. You're going to accidentally start an anime.
*Dude turned a 30 minute job into a 3 hour job by frying his muscles*
Some other dudes went to the gym for hours and accomplished nothing else in the meantime XD I'm out here enjoying nature, bird song, and a good workout and everyone wants to make it about how slow it is. Chill out, slow down, enjoy the fresh air :)
I want one. Honestly looks more fun than pushing a lawn mower around. And looks cool as hell.
Bro needs to do a video on how practical a sythe would be as a weapon
These scythes work extremely well, but it almost looks like the grass is being cut too short that I’ve seen from other people as well. Very impressed nonetheless!
It cuts field grass well because you don't mind the unevenness. But if you have a home lawn it doesn't do so well. I used to cut my church's overgrown weeds with a scythe for years.
I think you should be called the "Grass Reaper"
💀💀💀
that sound was so satisfying
Love your hat man, I've made a few like that for myself.
"honey the reaper is here"
"Oh perfect the lawn needed a cut"
The masculine urge to mow your lawn with a sycthe
The ground is a big factor too. On flat, even ground you can get it much shorter than a rugget field with rabbit holes and such
This guy is the only person I have ever seen in my entire life who actually uses a scythe for its intended purpose
Damn, I wasn't expecting it to just annihilate the grass like that
I remember seeing a competition between a scythe and a lawnmower but like the grass was unrealistically tall.
I think you just unlocked a core memory for me
Yep, that's where the scythe is truly unbeatable.
We makin’ it out of Stardew Valley with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Instructions unclear. I am now shaving my beard with a scythe.
When your scythe mastery is still low so you still have a fleshly body that hasn't started comprehension on the law of death yet
Basically one of the best weapons to have in a zombie apocalypse
This looks really fun
Old dude who lived beside me about 25 years ago did his entire garden with a scythe. 3 absolutely huge lawns. He'd go at it and drink 4 bottles of wine in the process. You'd honestly think he cut it with a lawnmower
In the old days, we used to collect hay this way. Very useful tool. It also came in handy when we were defending the village from bandits.
bless you, my back hurts watching you. I wish I was still able to do this.
Finally a scythe used for its actual purpose rather than a reference to death
If i saw my neighbor doing this I'd ask him to teach me his ways and behin spreading his (in)famous scythe skills.
seeing a scythe at work and not just as an aesthetic prop is embarrassingly fascinating
It looks so fun

@@ninopino12yes, but also back pain
Why is this so satisfying to watch and do at the same time 😂
I was legit waiting for him to say " With a scythe " after saying " shave your beard "
That's really the labor intensive way to mow a lawn.
Yes, though I found the scythe does a better job on tall, wet, or tough grass compared to a push mower. Also with the way wider cut, it's not really slower, as you do like 4 passes in a single pass.
With my scythe I could cut thistle and other
@@satibel exactly! And why pay for a gym if you have such a treasure as a garden to use as a free outdoor - gym?
I regard that many tends to forget that we humans are made for moving and that it's extreamly agreed upon that training a couple of hours a day and to do it with high pulse 30 min is essential to keep healthy!
When regarding bodywork as training everything becomes so much more fun!
@@slattergubben6702if gyms had only one type of exercise they wouldn't be good for you either. Repetition is good to a point, that's why so many manual labour workers are not the healthiest people, but instead deal with all kinds of health issues once they pass their prime.
@@UhOhUmm if you're just mowing your lawn, it's like every 2 weeks or so

Actually first time of seeing someone actually use a scythe in their intended way
Dude. I was today years old when I figured out what a scythe was used for.
Damn that’s just an issue of genuinely low intelligence and weak critical thinking skills because it’s purpose is intuitively apparent, like most people could figure it out by literally looking at it and thinking for 0.5 seconds.

Hahahaha. Thanks for “sticking up for me” others. As a result of that I must say yes I Have looked at it. And as I have only seen a scythe as a weapon that Death uses. Grim Reaper. Whatever you call em.
Where I come from we have weed whackers, and push mowers or if ya got a big enough yard, a ride on mower. Or technically in my area ppl a bit more affluent than myself have ppl come do their yards tbh but I’m trying to not think about how we aren’t as lucky lol. I’ve also used one of those mechanical push mower thingys that are just spinning blades.
Sorry I’m not old fashioned enough I guess :D
I think they were asking how short of a cut you can make, not how short the grass starts off
That looks very relaxing
Not only is it a great body workout, it produces nice sound and smell!
this is a new form of satisfying videos
