The Scythe Connection--The most comprehensive resource on the continental European pattern scythe, written by the incomparable Peter Vido. While we respectfully disagree with his low estimation of the American pattern scythe, his work developing the art of the European scythe has formed as the foundation or springboard for many mowers the world over. An excellent resource for those just getting introduced to scything, but be cautious not to take his teachings as gospel--especially regarding anything pertaining to the American pattern.

One Scythe Revolution--The best USA-based retailer of continental European scythes, run by our friend Botan Anderson. They are a great resource for procuring the continental pattern and its trappings. We have been working closely with them to arrive at a comprehensive document comparing and contrasting the design principles of Continental European and American scythes.
