About this entry:

Heel (n.) The part of any tool next the tang or handle; as, the heel of a scythe.

The parts of the scythe interest me. There's a horizontal pin on the scythe that has a name that is identical to the pin that is part of an oar lock. The word escapes me. Does anyone know what the word is? I'll have to look up tholepin because that is ringing a bell, but have to get ready for school now.

Best regards,
