Schroeckenfux

Austrian company Schröckenfux make scythe and sickle blades and are recognized around the world as being of the highest quality. That is why, if you search around on the internet, you can find cheaper imitations endowed with an Alpine brand name. 

These could be made in Eastern Europe or China but unlike many of these models, Schröckenfux blades come triple-peened by the factory's technicians, and require only a short honing in order to mow satisfactorily.
