Grass hooks or hand scythes are a useful tool for careful vegetation removal where there isn’t room to use a full scythe, in awkward corners or where extra precision is required. Sharpen frequently with a standard canoe-shaped sharpening stone when in use, as you would a scythe blade.
This LEFT HANDED grass hook has been lightly used. It has lost it’s label and may have some very light wear to the lacquer.

Description
Grass hooks or hand scythes are a useful tool for careful vegetation removal where there isn’t room to use a full scythe, in awkward corners or where extra precision is required. I have also found it useful for cutting back ferns and sparse bracken growing on the near vertical hedge banks boarding our access track.
Sharpen frequently with a standard canoe-shaped sharpening stone when in use, as you would a scythe blade.
A Peenable Blade
The Fux Grass Hook is of a beautifully light build and is made in the same way as the European tensioned scythe blades we stock. This means the edge can be cared for in the same way, using peening to maintain a good edge profile for honing with a sharpening stone. Peening also allows you to alter the edge, thinning it down for cutting finer vegetation or leaving it thicker for rougher work.
NOTE: unlike scythes, where both left and right handed people use the same equipment, the grass hook is “handed”. We stock both right and left handed versions.
