* Shop now open again:
I am happy to announce that ScythesNZ is now up and running again after the changeover from Ross to me. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you out with your scything equipment needs.
We have reached the quiet period in the mowing calendar after the busy time that means our stocks are low for some items.
We will be replenishing stocks soon and will have out of stock items available later in the year.

This tool of the past is fast becoming the tool of the future.
All over the Western World people are turning away from the noisy, fuel burning weedeaters and lawnmowers and taking up the scythe.
Faster than a weedeater and less cost to buy and run, the scythe is healthier for your body, your mind, and the Planet.
The Schroeckenfux factory in Austria have been making scythes since 1540 and now I have them available to buy, brand new here in New Zealand.
I have everything you need to get you mowing as well as on-going instruction and advice and permanent contact with the greater world of scything.
I have four types of blade from trimming blades, for around the tricky bits, to full size field blades for bringing in the hay.
Snaths (handles) made of Swiss ash wood are available in two sizes, also sharpening stones and all the blade maintenance gear you need to keep you mowing.
