ScytheAn implement for cutting grass by hand. It consists (according to current dictionaries) of a curved blade and a long handle. However, early-twentieth-century mail-order catalogues refer to the blade alone as a scythe. The scythe was developed and used before the advent of the reaper and mowing machine for harvesting small grain and cutting grass for hay. During the Depression of the 1930s, it was used by small farmers who could not afford anything else. Also, see Cradle scythe.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  scythe - an edge tool for cutting grass; has a long handle that must be held with both hands and a curved blade that moves parallel to the groundedge tool - any cutting tool with a sharp cutting edge (as a chisel or knife or plane or gouge) | | Verb | 1. | scythe - cut with a scythe; "scythe grass or grain"mow, cut down - cut with a blade or mower; "mow the grass" |
