Austrian snath 170-185 cm

Scythe Snath with Excellent Adjustability. Made of Ash Wood.

This is an excellent snath if you want a very upright position while mowing. With this snath and a well-grounded scythe, you'll have great conditions!

A ring and Allen key to attach the scythe blade are included. On our European snaths, the wider type of scythe ring is included, with a plastic piece acting as a spacer between the snath and the scythe ring. This reduces the risk of the ring getting stuck on the snath and makes attaching the scythe blade easier.

Let us know if you'd like the handles adjusted for a left-handed snath. Please note that you'll also need to purchase a left-handed scythe for this (available further down in the webshop).

The package includes a great guide on how to adjust the handles for your height and set the scythe blade. However, we recommend watching our video on how to mount the scythe, adjust the handles, and fine-tune the angles.

The handles are directed towards the body on these snaths, unlike the old Swedish snaths, where they pointed away from the body.

To grip this snath in a way that doesn't stress your wrists too much when the mowing gets tricky, you can grip with your left hand underneath the shaft (above the upper handle) and with your right hand on the lower handle's shaft. This makes it much easier to mow technically and keep your wrists straight. Feel free to carve away some of the sharp edges at the top of the shaft to make it more comfortable to grip.

The weight can vary slightly depending on the density of the wood used for the snath.
