Scythes NZ

*Please Note: Shop closing: I will be away doing workshops from Tuesday 22 Oct until Thursday 31 Oct.
You can still make enquiries, make and process orders during this time but nothing will be packed and sent till Thursday 30th. ( Except maybe wee things.)

* Sorry all workshops are full at the moment. Until I can organise another one.

The Ship has come in....
Everything is now back in stock for you to purchase on the website.

* Scything on Facebook. Check out the new Facebook page "Scything New Zealand" set up by Ian Andrews of Masterton. A chance for us to all come together and swap advice and scything stories and hopefully get to know scythers in our own area so we can get together to mow and learn from each other.

The Scythe Is Back ...

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.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with your questions . . .
