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 scythe blades, snaths and sharpening accessories. For a compleat positive experience with the scythe, one needs to satisfy three main aspects: a well fitting tool, a good maintenance skill and a proper mowing technique.
That's why I offer scythe workshops as well.
I hope that you find informations on these pages useful.
