Experienced scythers will also enjoy using it in moderately demanding terrain. The scythe is made of high-quality, extremely malleable steel and holds its edge well. It is easy to sharpen, even for beginners.

Austrian FUX scythe - basic features:
Unlike rolled products found in hardware stores, Austrian FUX scythes are hand-forged. They are lighter than conventional scythes (150 g for an 80 cm blade), the material is thinner and they are much easier to peen.
The tang made of solid material is used to attach the scythe to the snath. It is equipped with a knob that fits into a hole in the snath, which prevents the scythe from moving sideways.
The upper edge of the scythe is reinforced with a rib. This gives the scythe strength and stability and helps throw the cut grass to the side.
The scythe is made from high-quality, extremely malleable steel and holds its edge well. It is easy to sharpen, even for beginners.
Disadvantages of the Austrian FUX scythe:
The complexity of production is reflected in the higher price. However, considering the incomparable quality and long service life of several decades, investing in a high-quality scythe ultimately pays off despite the higher initial costs.
Additional services
Although the scythes leave the factory with a sticker saying mähfertig, i.e. ready for mowing, this is not entirely true. The scythes are machine-peened and coated with a protective varnish.
To ensure that you enjoy mowing and do not waste energy, it is necessary to remove 0.5–1 cm of protective coating along the entire blade on both sides and then hand-peen the scythe.
If you don't want to or don't know how to do this, leave it to us. We will deliver the scythe to you so that you can immediately mow your lawn, garden or meadow.
