PC509 - Scythe Set, 4 pcs.
If you've never used a traditional Austrian scythe, you're in for a real treat.
Most scythes sold are narrow, thick, and heavy. They feel "clunky" and are more suited to cutting brush than grass. In complete contrast to this is the traditional Austrian scythe. The blade is wide, thin, lightweight and very sharp. It is mounted to a straight aluminum snath (handle) with grips that adjust to the height of the user. Blade measures 29" long, snath measures 59" long.
This four-piece set includes a scythe blade and a snath, as well as a water stone and a watertight holster (because a razor-sharp scythe is essential).
A healthful and low-cost way to maintain or harvest a small acreage.
Components are also sold separately.
The set includes a 29" scythe blade, a 59" aluminum snath (handle) with height-adjustable grips, a water stone for sharpening and a watertight holster for carrying the stone while you work. Each component is also available separately.
Most scythes are narrow, thick and heavy — suited to cutting brush rather than grass. The Austrian-style blade is wide, thin and lightweight, designed to sweep through grass cleanly and with less effort than conventional designs.
Yes. The aluminum snath has grips that adjust to suit your height, so you can use it while standing upright rather than stooping. The snath measures 59" long overall.
Yes. The set is described as a low-cost way to maintain or harvest a small acreage. The lightweight blade and ergonomic handle make extended use more manageable than with heavier conventional scythes.
The set includes a water stone and a watertight holster you can clip to your belt or waistband. During scything, you can stop and hone the blade regularly — keeping a razor-sharp edge is important when using this tool.
