swallowtail scythe Explanation: http://www.mercateo.co.uk/kw/scythe/scythe.html?chooseGeo=tr... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-03-20 10:28:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Die Hochrückensense ist entgegen ihrem Namen im Rücken nur wenig höher als die ++NORMALE++ Grassense (Reichsformsense). Das Sensenblatt ist dicker und weniger stark gewölbt als die leichtere Reichsformsense. Hochrückensensen werden seit jeher fast ausschließlich in Norddeutschland zum Mähen verwendet. Als es noch keine Erntemaschinen gab, war dies die klassische Sense zur Getreideernte. http://www.sensenwerkstatt.de/5.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-03-20 10:29:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or standard scythe |

grass scythe Explanation: I would go for grass or standard scythe - as it was already mentioned in the first suggestion - just because I came to the conclusion after some research that the tool in question is employed as a means of mowing common grass rather than reaping crops. I also happened to find a reference where the name "Reichsformsense" comes. Example sentence(s):
