 Flimsy blade August 14, 2008
J_Lambert_76
As the other reviewer stated, I would probably buy this if I saw it in a shop or on the market, but I'd expect to spend no more than 10-15 on it (despite the 5 year guarantee stated on the packaging).
The blade is flimsy and develops kinks very easily after only a few minutes work. As with any tool of this kind it requires regular sharpening, But I didn't expect the blade to be unfinished upon delivery. Casting flash had to be removed before I could sharpen the blade.
The blade does work loose easily but this is not really a problem, as you'll need to replace it soon!
A shame as scythes are hard to find these days.
 Dissappointing August 5, 2008
Ant (North East UK)
I bought this a month or so ago to use to cut down some bracken and thistles. I appreciate it is not a full size scythe, but all the same it was very dissappointing.
The blade is very poor quality. Having used, with limited effect, for a couple of hours, the blade is already chipped and blunt.
The blade is held on by two very small bolts which keep working loose.
Had I have seen this in a shop, I'd have still considered buying it, but I wouldn't have paid much more than a tenner for it.
