Scythe Works, a member of the International Scythe Network.
Located in Victoria, BC, Canada, Scythe Works has a complete offering of European Scythes, Scythe Blades, Scything accessories, and other human powered tools.
Scythe Works also offers online instructional materials and local scything workshops on Vancouver Island.
"I joined the efforts of the International Scythe Network to promote the use of scythes for a variety of reasons, including:
- independence from petroleum-powered tools
- ecological responsibility
- preservation of time-honoured skills
- the ability to cut fodder for small-scale livestock feed, and grains for human or animal food
- appropriate technology for developing countries - where applicable
- an enjoyable outdoors experience
- healthy aerobic exercise
I provide users with quality European scythe blades, ergonomic snaths and sharpening accessories. For a complete positive experience with the scythe, one needs to satisfy three main aspects: 1.) an appropriately fit and sized tool, 2.) good maintenance skills and 3.) proper mowing technique.
If you're interested in hosting a Scythe Workshop in your area, please contact me.
I hope that you find information on these pages useful."
