In order to offer you quality service and personalized advice, we check every order. Since knowledge of the use of the scythe has been mostly lost in our regions, we find that many of our customers need some guidance in their choice of equipment to ensure all the equipment is mutually compatible and adapted to their needs.
It takes a little more time, but we want you to enjoy using these tools for a very, very long time!
We will follow up on your order by email as soon as possible.

Got it.
We take our time to test every item in our shop before adding it to our range, and we only sell tools we're truly enthusiastic about because they're so effective and enjoyable. We actually use these tools ourselves.
Each scythe blade is supplied with a plastic protective strip and a wooden wedge is supplied free of charge if the tang angle requires it.
We adjust the scythe blade's tang angle if necessary.
We grind and polish the face of hammers and anvils so they are ready for use.
A document with tips for using and maintaining the scythe is provided with each order of scything equipment (mowing technique, scythe blade and snath maintenance, peening, honing).
Like many techniques, mowing and maintaining the scythe blade are skills that are not easily improvised. We strongly recommend participating in a scything course with a qualified instructor to learn the correct techniques for comfortable and efficient mowing, and for peening and honing the blade correctly. Courses are announced throughout the year;
check the agenda regularly or subscribe to our newsletter.

For various internal reasons at Falci, the quality of their blades has recently declined significantly, to the point that in 2024 we had to return several models of blades we had ordered, which is why we no longer offer certain models (or certain lengths of certain models) in our shop.
There has been a deterioration in several blade
characteristics, which has a negative impact on their ease of use and
their effectiveness.
We hope that Falci will once again be able to produce blades of the excellent quality we have known. We're keeping in touch with them regarding this issue and are closely monitoring the situation.
In the meantime, rest assured, we continue to sell only Falci blades of good, very good, or excellent quality, from previous production runs.
Mowing grasses and other soft vegetation requires proper maintenance of the blade, which includes peening the edge with an appropriate hammer and peening anvil, and whetting it with a natural whetstone. The whetstone is carried in a whetstone holder on the belt, immersed in water with a bit of vinegar. Adding a small drizzle of vinegar increases the stone's bite and helps keep it clean and functional.
Peening draws out the steel to ensure the correct thinness and geometry of the edge. This operation is done on average after every four hours of mowing, but this time span varies depending on the vegetation, the conditions, the whetstone used, and the mower's technique.
Then, in the meadow, the edge is honed with a whetstone every few minutes, as soon as a little more resistance is felt and/or if the scythe cuts the grass less well.
Frequent peening and honing are essential for proper blade performance!
