I think I would like one of those motor"sickles" in my collection. It looks a bit alright to me.

Not mine just posted the pic because it is so magnificent. The other sickle isn't mine either.
All my taste is in my tools.

Well that's a bit of a pity! But it was worth posting, though.

Here's all the different snath wrenches I could round up. The last two pictures are a salesman sample snath on part of the scythe handle with the attached snath wrench. The snath fastens the scythe blade to the handle.

That's a swag of them. alright. There can not be too many of them left out there for the rest of us.

Well I have learned something from this thread. Thank you for starting it, J.A.F.E.

I have several scythes but I did not think of the probability of there being a particular style of spanner to go with them. I have never heard of a "snath" wrench. I must go through some of the boxes as I suspect that there may be one or two spanners there that look remarkably like those in Bus's picture. Maybe I have some snaths.

Cool thanks for clearing my confusion up

And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Thanks for posting the pics Bus. I have to admit I have a serious case of snath wrench envy after seeing those pics.

Hopefully it is only up there until he gets a tyre for that front wheel.

I believe that a snath is the actual handle of the scythe.

the long snaky looking wood part.

I was looking up scythe wrenches and found this thread
