Peening Anvils
Picard Narrow Anvil
A premium quality, traditional ,"short", narrow anvil, made by the Picard Company of Germany. It weighs 500 grams, has a hardness of 50-58 HRC, and has a medium or normal radius. The tapered spike is for mounting the anvil into a pre-drilled hole in a hardwood stump.- $35.00
Picard Wide Anvil
A premium wide anvil, made by the Picard Company of Germany. Beautifully shaped. Exceptionally hard. 500g. For "Old School" Austrian-style peening, where the blade is placed right-side-up on the wide anvil, and the edge is peened from the top with a cross-peen hammer. Wide anvils are also needed by narrow anvil owners when they need to repair a small crack in their blade. See page 158 of The Scythe Book. To repair small cracks in your blade, you need a wide anvil like this, and a true scythe hammer with a cross-peen side. - $35.00
Hammers
500g Picard Combination Scythe Hammer
Still the only scythe hammer I know of, that is hard enough for peening with the Picard, and SFX anvils. Excellent for drawing hammer strike techniques (aka glancing blows, Ziehender Dengelschlag.). -$35
700g Bellota Combination Scythe Hammer
I've been searching a long time for a 700g peening hammer. I had my hopes up with this one, made in Spain. Unfortunately, I think it is too soft. It's an interesting design to experience, though. The longer front section, changes the balance of the hammer to the ideal for a straight down, hammer strike . Not so good for a drawing hammer strike. -$35
