DESC: This high quality, German-made mower weighs only 17 pounds, but is sturdy enough to handle almost every mowing challenge facing the environmentally conscious homeowner. The manual reel lawn mower has five blades for superior cutting and ease of pushing. It has 8-inch-diameter wheels and a silent cut design. The blade misses the bedknife by less than a millimeter. This reduces friction and allows the mower to cut the grass like scissors. Of course, if you really want to go "Old School," you could just use scissors on the grass, but I'm thinking the Razorcut 38 way is a WAY better alternative. 17lbs.
