A scythe comprises an elongated blade 7 sharpened along opposed edges, the blade being connected to a handle 1 by a frame 5a, 5b which has an open structure, minimising resistance to movement of the tool when swinging it through herbage in a cutting direction. The frame may be releasably connected to the blade by longitudinally spaced connections 8 giving balanced support for the blade. The blade may be curved in a direction substantially at right angles to the longitudinal edges of the blade and the blade, when viewed in a plan may have curved longitudinal edges 9 which taper inwardly in a forward and/or rearward direction. |
