AUSTRIAN SCYTHES

These superb scythes are light, sharp and really do the job. In Europe and the US they are extensively used to mow what most of us would consider to be quite large areas. The 60cm one is best suited to small areas and working round obstructions like trees, while the 75cm model is for serious mowing. The range has now been updated to include an adjustable handle (snarth) instead of a fixed one, a peening jig and a sheath for the sharpening stone.
If you are new to scything we recommend you buy The Scythe Book by David Tresemer.
