Italian Scythe Blades
1SR Falci 100, 85cm, 50mm wide, 603g
Falci 100, available in 75cm, and 85cm. This blade has a fully-formed belly and rocker, to handle bumpier hayfields, This blade is awesome. A strong, stiff, well-formed, and balanced blade. Factory peened to a thinly tapered bevel that runs easily over the nail in the thumbnail test. Super-sharp, but the new edge really benefits from a quick touch-up peen, just at the edge, to toughen it up. (See 1SR Peening Manual) Best in well maintained hayfields (i.e. no sticks, stumps, or rocks!). Best to freehand peen this edge. I haven't tried it, but I don't think a peening jig would be good for this thin an edge. Very sharp and ready to mow! There are 3 videos of this blade in different mowing situations in my blog. 75cm - $105.00 , 85cm - $110.00

Falci 100 - 90cm, 597g. Same model as above, but this length has a straighter mid-section, which changes the cutting dynamics a bit. Best for tender grass and smoother fields. It cuts a lot per stroke, and makes mowing the lawn a lot of fun. -$110 out-of-stock
Note: Falci is out of stock as well and currently has no plans to make any more. |

Bavarian style grass blades. 50mm wide. Available in 60, 65, and 70cm lengths. 408g, 444g, and 465g. Good for all vegetation in the green and succulent stage; grass, tender weeds, clovers, cover-crops etc. The tang angles set for all the snaths that I sell.

FUX light Bush Blade
A light bush blade. 50cm (20 inches) long. 65mm wide. 536g. Tang angle is set for our snaths. Good for mature weeds with woodier stems, such as: brambles, thistles, ragweed, lambsquarters, etc. and tree seedlings. Traditionally these are not sharpened by peening, if used for mowing tree and brush seedlings. Instead they are sharpened by honing it first with an artificial whetstone or mill file, followed by a natural stone. If you are good at free-hand peening, you can peen them a little bit. Factory sharpened and ready-to-mow. For more info on mowing big weeds, see blog.

FUX Model 2010 Haying Blades
,New in 2010. Available in 65, 75, 85, & 95cm lengths. This new model is the result of a research and development project conducted by Gerhard Wagner, consulting engineer for the SFX factory. His goal was to design a scythe blade "that mows the nicest". It has a moderate hook-nose, so that it has the same angle of penetration as the other blades below, but at a more open hafting angle, resulting in more cut grass per stroke. It has an awesome slicing power! It takes some skill to master. Triple-peened, super-sharp, and ready-to-mow. Best for mowing well-maintained hayfields, and for cleaning up pastures.

95cm FUX "Profisense" Model 2010 scythe blade
While called the same model, it's actually a very different blade than the shorter lengths above. It takes a huge bite, for it's length. Great for mowing tender, sparse lawns with a smooth soil surface. This long blade can be a bit floppy and it is difficult to control the tip on bumpier fields. - $110 |
120, 130, & 135 cm Fux Competition Scythe Blades
120cm (48 in) FUX Competition Scythe Blade
120cm (48in.) to 135cm (54 in) long. "Hartstahl" steel (hard steel). While the sticker says maehfertig (ready-to-mow) they are not. Ready-to-peen is more like it. And with the harder steel, and extra length, peening takes a while. For more info on competition mowing, see blog. Even though they have the same tang angle as our own blades, these blades are too long for the FUX snath. The 4 ft + length has too much leverage for the lightweight and sawn out FUX snaths. The steambent 1SR snath can probably handle these for normal ag mowing, if used with care. I primarily carry these long blades, by request, for people who are experimenting with making their own snaths.

Russian Scythe Blades
Arti Saiga-Lux Scythe Blades
|
40, 50, 60, and 70cm.
Arti scythe blades are manufactured by rolling out the steel, instead of fully forging the steel like the European blades above. As a result they are more economical to make, but not quite as well formed or tensioned, but they make very serviceable scythes blades.. The steel is excellent and really holds an edge well These Saiga-Lux blades were sharpened for me by the Arti factory, so with a little honing, they are good to mow. |
