Troubleshooting

Blade feels dull during first use

The blade is shipped needing initial sharpening. Use a professional-grade sharpening stone to hone the edge to your preference.

Difficulty cutting through thick stems

Ensure you are using a smooth, sweeping motion rather than a hacking motion. Check the sharpness of the blade.

Handle feeling rough or dry

Lightly sand the hardwood handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a coat of wood oil to restore the weatherproofing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, it is essential to sharpen the 305mm blade to match the specific type of vegetation you intend to clear. To maintain the tool, always wipe the blade clean after use to prevent sap buildup or corrosion. Store the scythette in a dry area or a shed to protect the hardwood handle. If the handle appears dry after a long season, applying a light coat of linseed oil will help preserve the finish. When the blade eventually loses its edge beyond the capability of a standard honing stone, it can be easily replaced using basic hand tools.
