Standard Scythe Sets

Standard sets contain all the equipment needed to use and maintain your scythe, at a discount over buying the parts separately.

The contents of each set can be seen to the right.

Quick Set up Guide

Our Standard Sets contain everything you need to get scything, plus the equipment needed to maintain your blade in a good, sharp condition (the process of peening).

We recommend most people to start peening with a peening jig. If you want a peening anvil instead of a jig, scroll further down the page for sets with anvils included.

If you need help deciding between a jig and anvil, have a look at this article.

Basic scythe sets (snath, blade, stone and stone holder) without peening equipment can be found here (minimum scythe kit) and here (rough mowing scythe kit).
