Handles on the snath allow the user to hold the scythe and stand upright while swinging the blade horizontally at ground level to cut grass or brush.
The cutbacks were imposed at the Snath Comer factory in Gweedore's Derrybeg industrial estate after consultations between the mangement and trade union officials.
The brace between the scythe (the blade) and the snath (the handle) is a 4 1/2' piece of 5/16" threaded rod.
