The first known lawn mower had a cylinder cutting gear made of iron. [citation needed] It was used to mow sporting grounds and wide-ranging gardens.As manufacturers changed the design and structure of mowers, the cutting mechanism also developed and evolved into several varieties, including cylinder/reel blades, deck blades, mulching blades, and lifting blades.
Two archetypes of this type of mower are the Bush Hog which is made by Bush Hog, Inc. [1] of Selma, Alabama, and the Flex-Wing by RhinoAg of Gibson City, Illinois.The formal name for this type of implement is a rotary cutter or rotary mower, although it differs from mowers in that it does not cut with a sharp blade, but rather severs with an intentionally very dull wedge-like blade.

It developed from the sickle in most parts of Britain during the mid to late 19th century, and was in turn replaced by the scythe , later by the reaping ...
A modern gouge is similar to a chisel except its blade edge is not flat, but instead is curved or angled in cross-section. The modern version is generally hafted inline, the blade and handle typically having the same long axis. If the bevel of the blade is on the outer surface of the curve the gouge is called an 'outcannel' gouge, otherwise it ...
