Peening a scythe blade

Learning how to peen a scythe can feel like a daunting task. Reshaping the edge of the blade by hammering it into shape with a peening jig can feel very technical and difficult and there’s often a fear of damaging the blade.

I will be leading a Scythe Peening workshop on 19th Oct 2025 in Lancashire. During the day you’ll learn how to peen an Austrian scythe to improve how it’s effectiveness and efficiency. This workshop is for peening only, there’ll be an opportunity to scythe and get some feedback on your mowing technique but this isn’t a Learn to Scythe course.  For more details please email stevetomlin8[at]gmail.com
