Was the scythe one of those smaller one's you hold in one hand or the larger ones you use with two hands? I'm wondering how smooth the blade of a scythe needs to be, I can't imagine spending the time to get the edge to that smoothness. I wonder if it was used for something else as well? I guess the farmers would know though...
Aha, good to now

Imagine it's the larger type. But I know that farmers were particular when sharpenig scythes, same with woodworking axes. They need to be polished and razor sharp
