Our curved hickory snath is made to the same pattern we've been using for over 130 years. It is designed for average sized men and women. Standard length is 60 inches long. Few people are the exact size to fit our standard length snath. Custom sizing is free, so please take advantage of it to ensure you get the proper length and angle for comfortable mowing. If you are a youth, or a tall person, our straight outfit will be a better choice for you. A light coating of linseed oil should be applied occasionally. The handles face you when you are swinging this scythe. A nib sets the lower handle in the proper postion so that your arms can hang loose. A mounting ring and wrench designed to hold our blades securely is included. Extra wrenches and screws are not available. This outfit comes standard with a our heaviest 16" posthorn blade. If you are planning to mow grass, this is not the right outfit!. If you need to clear out this year's saplings and mow grass also, then this a good outfit for you - just add a grass blade and natural stone in addition to this package. A stone holder is included (it clips on your belt or your back pocket. This outfit also includes a manmade stone. At some point, you will need to hammer out the edge of the blade. Our peening jig is the best tool for the job. Only one is needed per family or neighborhood.
