These hand forged steel blades are sharpened to an extremely fine edge to make scything as easy as possible.

Our grass blades are long and designed to give a wide, even cut and so are suitable for cutting large, open areas of grass or meadow. They are a little less robust than ditch blades and so should not be used for tough weeds like rashies or brambles.

Caring for your blade: always wipe your blade clean and dry it. After drying you can lightly oil the blade. This will prevent corrosion. You should also frequently sharpen your blade during use. Minor nicks in the blade can be repaired by gently filing. More serious damage can be addressed by peening the blade; which requires some skill but which can be very rewarding.
