Scythe

Scythes from the Schröckenfux & Fux Austria Scythe Forge

Scythes are tools for mowing grass, weeds, and herbs, and for harvesting grain. The Schröckenfux company from the Kremstal region of Austria is one of the last remaining scythe forges in Europe. For over 450 years, carbon steel blanks have been forged there in numerous stages into elegantly curved scythes and sickle blades.

Anyone who mows with a scythe today is continuing a 4,000-year-old technique. Fux scythes are characterized by their durability, precision, and excellent craftsmanship. The scythes are easy to hold and comfortable to use. Scythes offer many advantages: They protect animals from injury during mowing or harvesting, produce no exhaust fumes or noise, and uneven ground is no obstacle.

Garten-Geschenke has been a close sales partner of the scythe forge Schröckenfux for many years and presents you with a wide selection of high-quality scythes and sickle blades. We have uploaded an informative video about the production of scythes and sickle blades from Fux Austria to YouTube.

Scythes for grass, straight cuts, overgrown vegetation, stone points with wood and metal tines

Scythes from Fux Austria stand for the highest quality cutting. Elaborately hand-forged scythes from Schröckenfux, one of the last scythe forges in Europe, impress us with their exceptional sharpness and precise grinding technique for effective and effortless work. Complete scythes are available in a wide selection with either a wooden or steel tang in the standard lengths of 150cm and 160cm. The wooden handle is made of ash wood and is adjustable for heights from 120 to 210cm. The patented steel tang consists of an oval steel tube with wooden handles and is available for heights from 155 to 195cm. With grass blade, wild growth blade, with stone tip, or razor cut.

Scythe throw is also called a scythe handle or scythe shaft. The scythe throw transfers the movement and power of the person to the scythe blade. The length of the throwing arm should be adjusted to the person's height. In the online shop Garten-Geschenke, we offer wooden scythe handles in lengths from 130cm for heights of 120-155cm up to 180cm for people 200-210cm tall. You will also find handles for left-handed users in various lengths and steel scythe shafts from 140cm to 160cm. You can find books on scything in our online shop.

Scythe blades are used for mowing meadows and pastures. Grass scythes are more manageable and lighter than brush scythes for comfortable and quick cutting. The brush blade is suitable for tougher grasses, emerging shrubs, ferns, and nettles, even along field edges or under fences. A scythe blade with a stone tip protects the cutting edge from stones in stony terrain. The razor-cut blade is long and narrow and suitable for large meadows. The Styria scythe is the traditional shape and has a strong curve, making it easier for people with less strength to use. Scythe blades for perennials and scrub have a robust and strong blade. Scythe blades for competitions complement our extensive range in the online shop Garten-Geschenke (Garden Gifts). Peening & Sharpening: Scythe blades are peened to keep them sharp and prepare them for the next use. Peening is also necessary if there are cracks in the blade. Cracks occur when a cutting motion is made with a pushing rather than a pulling motion. We stock peening tools, peening hammers, peening anvils, peening benches, peening accessories, and various whetstones made of silicon carbide, Rozsutec, and corundum in different grits from fine to coarse. We have a large selection of high-quality garden rakes, leveling rakes, fine leveling rakes, wire frame rakes, lawn rakes, children's rakes, meadow rakes, hay forks, rake handles, rake holders, and replacement tines made of wood and nylon, both curved and straight. We also offer hand sickles and scythe replacement parts for cutting small quantities of grain, herbs, weeds, and grass, as well as replacement handles, peening hammers, and scythe rings in case of damage or loss.
