The blade has a slight upward curve toward the tip to allow it to glide smoothly with a swinging motion and prevent it from getting caught in the soil. The scythe snath is made from select ash and expertly crafted by hand. The ash snath is curved and has a pointed end. The screw-on wooden grips can be adjusted along the snath to suit the user’s arm length, and the blade is secured with the scythe ring. The blade cuts as it moves from right to left, making it suitable for right-handed users. The ergonomically shaped ashwood snath, with its two adjustable wooden grips, is used to guide the scythe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eW 58 x D 29 x H 164 cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCutting length: 45 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1 scythe blade \u003cbr\u003e1 ashwood scythe snath with height-adjustable grips \u003cbr\u003e1 scythe ring \u003cbr\u003e1 Allen key for the scythe ring \u003cbr\u003e1 assembly \/ instruction manual \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMowing technique\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStand facing the mowing path with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Using your torso and arms, guide the scythe blade in a sweeping arc close to the ground, moving it briskly with a rotating motion and without excessive force.

This means sharpening it at frequent intervals with a damp whetstone (a water-filled stone holder), as well as hardening the cutting edge by peening. On a flat anvil, use the peening hammer to hammer out the scythe blade from heel to tip and back again. This draws out (thins) and hardens the cutting edge. It also sharpens the blade and significantly extends its working life. Working life is the period during which you can work without interruption before signs of wear appear. This method of deformation can also remove nicks up to about 5 millimeters deep in the cutting edge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjusting the scythe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCorrectly adjusting and mounting the blade on the snath and setting it to suit the mower’s height is very important.
