Falci 128 Grass / Trimming Blade (SECONDS)
Original price was: £50.00.£40.00Current price is: £40.00.
End of Line / Seconds
A light, multi-purpose blade which sets up and mows easily. It is ideal for the garden, eg mowing lawns, garden meadows and grassy paths, light weeding and trimming.
We have a few end of line blades available. These blades are missing the final decorative peening marks (which does not affect function) and have some minor rust marking under the lacquer from prolonged storage. The marking will have no long term impact on their function.
We are offering these slightly-less-then-perfect blades at a 20% discount.
Before first use, we recommend cleaning off any rust spots along the cutting edge (though they will sharpen off with use if you want to be really lazy about it!). This can be done with a Garryflex sanding block or emery cloth.
Any marking on the body of the blade can be left to wear off with time, or cleaned off in a similar manner to the edge.
NOTE – I have not photographed all the blades.
The marking varies blade to blade. Please look at all the product photos for an indication of the kind of marking the blades have.

Description
A light, well-curved blade with a deep belly, a hooked tip and stone point.
The Falci 128 blade is a good choice if most of your scything is fine grasses and weeds. The light blade needs less frequent peening to keep a good grass cutting edge.
Like any blade it needs frequent honing to keep a keen edge, but when used to manage a small area may only need peening once a year (or less).
It is a lighter blade then the Rasierschnitt, Styria or Profisense, so it is less suitable for tougher weeds. The nature of the Falci blade tensioning means it needs to be used with care in areas where you might accidently hit hard objects eg concrete path edging.
The curved shape works well in confined areas and around obstacles, eg trimming around the garden or allotment, mowing in orchards or along trackways.
It’s deep belly makes it forgiving of uneven ground and easy for the beginner to set up and mow. When used on the lawn the deep belly gives a slightly longer cut, which can be desirable as it leaves the lawn greener then with a very close cut.
The 50cm length blade is a good choice if most of your scything is tiny areas like “pocket handkerchief” lawns or grassed paths 3ft wide or less.
