I have had some requests for information on competition scythe blades; mostly from people that make their own snaths and want to experiment with off-set snaths and longer blades. I can special order these competition blades, made my Schroeckenfux, from Austria. They are available in lengths 120cm to 145cm. I currently have a few 120cm blades. They are made of "Hartstahl", a specialty hardened steel, and are factory sharpened, and ready-to-mow. I will get longer blades, as us Americans figure out what to do with them.

The tang angle on these blades (about 20 degrees) actually does fit the snaths that I sell, but for speed mowing you would need a stiffer specialized snath, as in the video below. For info about making your own off-set snath for longer blades, see http://scytheconnected.blogspot.com/2010/07/snaths-for-long-blades.html
