basher Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I saw this lovely oliver at the tool museum in Troyes , they also had some great footage of scythe forging as well as an amazing array of anvils and hammers . its quite a place , located in the champaign region of France. It was blocked from its full movement but the small movement allowed felt very fast and free , I think it would have been a great tool.
