I have the model pictured above from scythe supply. Recommend it highly.

Yup, I have several. Good people at Scythe Supply too. Recommended. Not just for hornweed in the ditch or cutting under the electric fences, but for general meadow grass or in the orchard. In my experience, these scythes are just as quick as lawnmowers (say about 1/2 acre all broken up with plantings) and far faster than a mower when you get into the ditches and puckerbrush. Might be the right tool for Congress too, cut them all off at the ankles.

If you're accumulating scythes, remember to get 1/6 of them in the lefty model.
