I knew someone's gonna have to mention scythes...

I didn't because, in my opinion, scythes were more practical to use when dealing with leaves and tall grass, rather than harvesting crops. A sickle was easier since you needed one hand to hold the upper end of the crop, and your other hand to hack it off using a sickle. Whereas if you were to use a scythe, it would just cut it off, sometimes fraying the end and sometimes not at all or inaccurately and damage the crop, and you'll have to go around collecting them wherever they would have been thrown off to. Other than that, you'll have to get our sickle and cut off those which weren't and left hanging on a branch or something, anyway...

>inb4 scythes being weaponized versions of the sickle, and would be discarded since it's basically a spear...
