www.axtwerfen.de - Devices - List of Devices - Scyth

An unsymmetrical device with complex handling. Interrestingly, the handle of a scyth is called "throw" (in german). How suiting. What about juggling with the skyth?

Scyth, laying on the ground. Sure, a poor picture. Next mowing season you will find better pictures here.

Of course one can juggle with a skyth, not only for fun, but also for really cutting grass. Consider the following option:

After the cutting stroke, the scyth normally is breaked and returned to the starting position. But there should also be a way without that break, means going on with the movement, fullfilling a cycle overhead and thus returning to the starting point form behing. To achieve this, the handle must be released and caught again.

This techinque we didn't yet test, it is in the state of theory. Next mowing season we will know more about.
