Single Scythe Blades, shipped separately
Austrian. Fux Model 2010. 75cm (30in.) long, 50 mm wide, 495g. Good for prime hayfields and lawns. Better for experienced scythers. This model is the result of a research and development project conducted by Gerhard Wagner, consulting engineer for the SFX factory. Triple-peened and ready-to-mow. See blog for more info on the 2010 blade. ($98.00) Shipping: $25.00
Highly recommended for big weeds! Every scyther should have one of these in their arsenal. These light bush blades have tang angles set to be interchangeable on the Fux wooden snath. Short, stiff, and sturdy. Great for thick-stemmed grasses, weeds, brambles, and tree seedlings. Having one on hand for tougher mowing situations, can spare your grass blade of a lot of wear and tear. (Bush blades are not sharpened by peening, usually. They're usually sharpened by first honing with an artificial stone, or a mill-file, followed by a medium grit natural stone. However, experienced peeners can peen the edge to suit a greater range vegetation types. - One 50cm factory-sharpened bush blade ($90) Shipping: $20
Hayrakes
The return of the Cheesebrough hayrake! Sadly the original factory burned down in 2013, but Cheesebrough has rebuilt and is again manufacturing wooden rakes. Here is their modernized production version of their classic flex frame wooden hayrake.

Peening Kits
I recommend that you order one of the kits below with your scythe outfit.
One 500g, premium, Picard narrow anvil with polished face, ($45). One 500g, combination (wide and cross-peen faces, both polished) Picard scythe hammer ($47). One 1SR Roll-Guide ($27.50). One rust-eraser sanding block ($7.50). Total: $127 + $20 for shipping. (Not included is my 1SR Peening Manual, which is recommended reading, and is available as a document on my Peening Workshop page. It has grown to too many pages to print on a desktop printer. It's in two parts. You need both parts for this kit with the 1SR Roll-Guide. You can read online, or download and print them yourself, to study while waiting for your peening kit to arrive.)
Whetstones
5/8 inch thick with chamfered edges. USA. 400 grit. Formulated to specifications by knife blade and American scythe expert, Benjamin Bouchard. "ANSI 400 grit synthetic blue sapphires in a medium-hard ceramic bond. Formulated to cut quickly and resist glazing, but also leaves a finer than typical finish relative to its grit rating. The finish it leaves is more typical of 1000 grit stones". Best when paired with the Bull Thistle or the Bergamo, for setting a scratch pattern. I love this stone's effects on FUX triple-peened edges! Great for sharpening the Japanese kamas. $27.50 + $10 shipping.
21cm. Very fine grain 600-800. The beautifully finished, very fine and fairly hard Rozsutec whetstone. Finished on all 4 sides. It's hand-quarried near Rozsutec Mountain in Slovakia. Best for well-peened grass blade edges, that easily run over the nail. -$20 + Shipping: $10

Seeds
100 grams of Sepp Holzer's "Siberian rye" seed. Secale cerale var. multicaule. Also known as Waldstaundenroggen in Germany. This is the rye that Sepp Holzer writes about in his books, “The Rebel Farmer”and “Sepp Holzer’s Permaculture”. My seed comes from his stock. In his books he says that in 1957, he saw an ad in an Austrian hunting magazine for an ancient Siberian rye that was a great grazing plant for wild game. It was very expensive, so he only ordered 1 kilogram and grew it out for seed. He was very happy with it, and has been selecting and breeding it ever since. It makes a great pioneer plant for newly disturbed areas. Grazing animals love it. Once established, it can be grazed or mown for several years, before allowing it to head out and set seed. Setting in back by grazing or mowing, makes it tiller and regrow bigger, and increases the final yield. The straw is 2 to 2.5 meters high and is strong. It is useful for animal bedding, crafts, and for straw mattresses. The grain makes wonderful bread. Once it sets seed, its lifecycle is finished and you can plant a different crop. 100g = approx. 6000 seeds. For more info see webpage.
