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!
