poorfag here. can't afford a scythe, and the one my dad has is his dad's, and over 100 years old & long retired. can't be using family history in the fields.

I have to do my shit on my knees, like a ten pence whore.

I used a grinder with a #40 flap disk to bring an antique sickle to an edge. worked great, held its edge for a week. dulled it on wild lettuce stems. I used our kitchen knife sharpener to bring it back, but it seems to dull faster and not as sharp as when I just use the flap disk.

I've got to upgrade. the time & effort does not justify the offset of just buying 635kg bales.
