The 65cm Styria is our best selling scythe blade. It’s the ideal blade to replace a strimmer.

A tougher blade that is suitable for mowing rougher grass, weeds, bracken and bramble and over rough ground where there may be stones etc that would damage a finer blade.

When peened it will also neatly cut finer grasses and soft weeds – a multi-purpose blade.

Blade Length

The best length of Ditch blade depends on the size of area you want to mow and the number of obstacles to mow around. A 65cm blade gives you more “bite forward” and allows you to mow more with each stroke, whilst still being versatile enough for trimming around obstacles etc.

A shorter blade is better in more confined areas. It exerts less leverage on the snath, so causing less stress on the snath when mowing tougher vegetation. If you want a shorter ditch blade have a look at the Falci 187 Short Ditch blade, which comes in 55cm and 40cm lengths
