Scythes and Scythe Accessories – Traditional Cutting Tools

Choosing the right scythe for your needs

Manual scythes are selected based on handle length and blade width – shorter scythes (60-70 cm) suit smaller areas and dense vegetation, while models with 90+ cm handles enable more efficient coverage of larger meadows. Brands like Agromarket and Tovarna Kos offer steel blades in various thicknesses, with heavier blades providing more stable momentum when cutting tall growth.

Blade maintenance – key to longevity

Regular sharpening is essential for a clean cut that doesn't damage grass. Accessories such as the TOPEX Scythe Sharpening Stone allow field sharpening during work. Professionals recommend honing every 15-20 minutes of intensive mowing, as a dull blade wastes energy and produces uneven results.

Material and corrosion protection

Quality scythes are made from carbon steel with a protective coating that prevents rust. After use, the blade must be cleaned of moisture and plant sap, then periodically coated with a thin layer of oil. Fiskars and Villager offer models with enhanced anti-corrosion protection for long-term use in wet conditions.

Scythe handles and additional accessories

The scythe handle (snath) must be made from hardwood such as ash or beech, with an ergonomic shape that reduces fatigue. Length is adjusted to the user's height – a properly chosen handle enables natural swing motion without excessive back flexion. Beyond the basic tool, it's useful to have spare wedges for securing the blade and a protective cover for transport.
