My Dad's scythe had a steam bent snath and felt like it was curved around your body. Also, the blade had a channel shaped like a rain gutter along the back edge which captured the stalks of grass and deposited the grass in the windrow. I never got good at it. The spacing of the handles and their angles is very individual. In the hands of an expert you can hardly believe how fast the grass is falling.
