Customer Reviews: Large Grass Scythe, Tubular Steel Shaft 1.5m long & 60cm Blade
Light weight scythe, very easy to handle.
Attaching blade required a bit of effort, but was fine.
Blade does not arrive sharp, but has been easy to sharpen (I've been using a kitchen knife sharpening steel, but a stone would do as well), as with any scythe you need to sharpen frequently as you go, so make sure you have something to sharpen it with.
It's been brilliant at cutting long grass and weeds! Very pleased :)
I'd been intending to get a scythe to cut the rough grass in my garden but had not seen anything suitable until I saw this one advertised. When it arrived I was not disappointed. It's an excellent blend of traditional style with modern materials. Easy to assemble, although I did have to file down the spur on blade heel a bit to get it to fit the slot on the shaft, but no real problem. As to comments regarding sharpness, it seems obvious to me that to send a fully sharpened item through the post would be asking for trouble. What if it broke through the packaging in transit and someone was injured? Carriers are not that careful in handling items are they! Anyway, if you're going to use a scythe you should have a sharpening stone also as you will need to use it regularly. In use it is nicely balanced with a good weight behind each cutting stroke, just what you need for long grass and dense weeds. All in all and excellent piece of gardening equipment!!!

I found this scythe absolutely perfect for cutting the long grass in my small orchard, I am so glad that I purchased it.
Item ordered late on Friday and arrived on Monday. It was as described and easy to assemble. I have yet to give it a good trial on the allotment but a quick trial in the garden proved fine. On the basis of my experience I would be happy to order more items from Thorntons in the future. Thank you for a fast and efficient service.
