Snaths

Ergonomic, high quality wooden scythe handles from Austria.

The original Schröckenfux wooden snath was designed in partnership with renowned scyther, Peter Vido.

It is light yet robust, with strong and stable fixings that do not move in use.

Users can fine tune the set up to find an ergonomic and comfortable mowing position, something that is nearly impossible to achieve with cheaper snaths.

It’s the next best thing to having a bespoke snath made for you!

What our customers say

“Thanks for a great day on Saturday, I learnt far more than I expected to! Very pleased with the two scythes I brought home and yesterday managed four hours of practise.”

Bill of Growing Ruabon

Introductory Scythe Course

"...a big thank you to you both for such an excellent day on Saturday. It was great to meet you both, and the course was really helpful and inspiring. You managed to pack such a lot into those few hours. It was varied and interesting too, and even the weather didn't spoil it. And I was quite overcome by all those wonderful orchids..."

Julia, DEVON

Introductory Scythe Course 2022

"The Scythe I brought from you is…terrific! Lightweight, sharp, comfortable, lovely sound swish!"

One Blade Scythe Set 2023

"Wow what service! Scythes arrived this morning, they have been put together and will be on their way to Ramsey Island soon to help the RSPB wardens" Jean, CARDIFF “Falci Bear” Scythe Set, 2024

"...what a game changer the scythe I bought from you has been. I asked you how it would deal with spiny rest harrow. The answer is that it cuts it no problem, even at this time of year, and even with a less than perfect cutting technique! Sooooo much easier on the back too than my sickle!"

John, KENT

Raiserschnitt Scythe Set 2023

"Thank you for the prompt delivery of my new scythe. I am very impressed by your recommended blade “The Bear”. It is shorter and much more robust than the blade I am used to. After just honing it I tried it out on a patch of grass invaded by waist high bramble and nettles. It went through them like a hot knife through butter."
