Bent grass is a kind of grass. It's usually the only grass [1] that's cut
with a reel mower. Using a reel mower on any of the more coarse grasses
will usually result in a cut you may not be happy with, as well as be much
harder on the knives, requiring sharpening more often. I suppose I should
have posed the question, "Why do you want a reel mower?".

I see....didn't know that. Thanks!

My current gas powered mower is on its last legs. and
I "think" my lawn is actually small enough it could be
done with human power anyway

Plus I want something easy enough to haul in a car to
cemetery to mow around some graves

I'm not saying that you couldn't use a reel mower, you certainly could. I'm
not sure you'd like it, tho. New mowers are much more lightweight than the
older ones were. You may be able to find a manageable power mower for what
you wish to use it for. g/l
