I am 67 years old and live in two different locations, Tokyo and Ibaraki. I couldn't just leave my vacant childhood home unattended, so I've been cleaning and mowing the grass. However, as I started living in the old house and doing gardening, I realized how interesting it was, and now I even find joy in mowing the grass.
However, mowing the grass in the middle of summer is tough. Especially entering under the trees or into the bushes to mow the grass is unpleasant. There might be bugs there.
This time, I tried using a grass cutting sickle called "Skidger" from the United States.

I don't usually use new tools, but the length of the handle (134cm) became the key point as I can mow the grass without squatting.
When I tried using it, I was able to smoothly move and cut the grass even in tall grassy areas. I was able to do the grass cutting between perennial plants in a short amount of time.
Also, when you try to mow the grass that grows in gravel-filled areas with a grass cutting sickle, the blade tends to chip. However, the Skidger is made of reinforced stainless steel, so even after forcefully hitting it against gravel for half a day, the blade did not chip.
However, it weighs less than 1 kilogram, so it's better to just move the blade back and forth.
When mowing the grass, sometimes it's easier if the soil is dry (such as when it's soft due to leaf soil), and in areas full of rocks, it's better if the soil is somewhat moist.
I plan to use different tools depending on the location and condition of the garden and enjoy gardening with minimal strain.
