According to the specifications and quality criteria of the Sensenverein Österreich (Austrian Scythe Association), our most popular model is exclusively handcrafted by the Schröckenfux company in more than 20 production steps. The special blade curvature, the "Knackl" (offset heel), and exceptional sharpness characterize our best-selling classic.
The SVÖ Scythe is a grass scythe designed for fresh to old, dry grass, as well as green plant stems up to 5 mm in diameter and non-woody vegetation. The cutting edge is triple-peened and subsequently hand-sharpened. The blade is polished on both sides. Thanks to its particularly low weight—achieved through the use of a pointed hammer—it allows for easy and effortless mowing.
Shorter scythes are suitable for older, taller, and particularly dry grass. A short blade also facilitates mowing in confined spaces and around trees or along walls. The 60 cm and 65 cm scythes are suitable for areas up to 80 m². For open-field mowing, scythes ranging from 70 cm to 90 cm are ideal. The 90 cm scythe is designed for large, level areas with light vegetation; proper technique and good physical condition are essential for handling this blade.
Before use, the protective varnish must be removed by hand-sanding. Detailed instructions for the correct setup can be found in the enclosed adjustment and assembly guide.
Additional Service: For a blade that is ready for immediate use, you can order our Service: Varnish Removal and Hand-Peening.
