* New stock arriving last week of September!
It definitely feels like Spring is in the air. I am very happy to experience the days getting longer. I have dusted the winter dust off my lawn mowing blades and tidied up the garden. I have even done a few mowing jobs around the neighbourhood.
We are looking forward to starting our summer workshops again and getting out and about meeting and mowing with fellow scythers. It is our goal to nurture the scything community in NZ, share knowledge and skills and promote this amazing tool and all its potential to play a part in supporting us as we care for the land that we call home.

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.
Yes I know that the photo on the left is still Ross. He is still part of ScythesNZ and we are still benefiting from his years of hard work supporting the community so he will stay there for a bit longer. Cheers Ross
