A flail for a rotary vegetation cutter. The flail is attached to a rotor and is centrifugally swung around the axis of rotation of the rotor to strike vegetation such as grass and weeds to cut them down. The flail comprises a plurality of metal filaments braided into an elongated strand and an abradable jacket surrounding and embracing the strand. When rotated the flail strikes and cuts objects in its path, the jacekt near its free end abrading away to expose the filaments adjacent to the free end. The strand unravels where the jacket has been removed to form a group of loose metallic filament ends.
