I was shopping for a new scythe blade when I found this beautiful and incredibly long competition scythe blades.

In the video, they seem to be judged not just on time but also on how well the area is mowed. I find this fascinating.

I learned about it through a random YouTube recommendation, and I've always found it fascinating. I used to go to a communal farm close to where I live to help harvest the wheat by hand, and using the scythe was such a good time.
