I was watching Cool Hand Luke, and I'm looking for the name of this type of manual device.
Bonus if you able to provide a link for me to purchase.
My backyard has a rock bed, and when I mowed my lawn with my gas powered lawn mower a rock ricochet and shattered my glass sliding doors. Naturally, I'd like to prevent this from happening again.
Thanks in advance!

Weed cutter
Weed whacker. Before they were motorized, you had to whack the weeds.
Some folks calls it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade. um hum
Just checkin’ my yo-yo, boss…
they are in the aisle with the rakes and stuff.
Also known as a grass whip. Very handy.

Grandpa called it a yo yo
Billy hook
It’s a Yo-Yo brush-cutter
Scythe/long version
Sickle /shorter version
Swing blade
I have one of these and if you do end up getting it, be careful, it will cut through a lot more than just weeds. Definitely wear protective footwear and stay away from things you care about such as your solar pool heater.
Weed whip
Takin’ it off here, boss.
Yeah, takin’ it off there, Dragline.
Yo-yo.
A swing-blade. A smaller one is a grass whip.
Blue steel
Incidentally, does anyone know where to buy a decent one of these?
Sounds like the rock bed isn’t doing its job. I’d remove it.
Looks like a large weed hoe, or stirrup hoe
It’s Newman’s own
