SCYTHE STONES

As long as scythes are used there are also scythe stones / whetstones for scythe and sickle. In former times fish form carved stones from different kinds of sandstone were used. Today, aluminium oxide or silicon carbide is used as an abrasive.

We have been manufacturing scythe stones since 1862. Our well-known brands are Silicar ^®, Silifix ^® and Carsil ^®. We offer scythe stones in lengths of 230 mm and 260 mm in various grain qualities.

We manufacture our high-quality scythe stones from green silicon carbide. In addition, we have aluminium oxide stones and combined scythe stones for you in our range of products.

We also manufacture scythe stones in your own brand as a private label manufacturer. You can get your whetstone in the dimensions and grain size you require as well as in your individual packaging.

Mowing with the scythe is trendy – it is quiet, environmentally friendly and keeps you fit, because it trains your back, hip and leg muscles. You can see how fast and good scythe mowing is on videos of the informative website of the Danish scythe specialist Legrej: www.legrej.dk

We analyse your grinding tools – free of charge!

At your request, we examine your existing grinding tools free of charge using three different measuring methods: modulus of elasticity (Young’s modulus), Zeiss-Mackensen method and HZ-Rockwell. With the results of the analysis, we are able to make statements about the suitability of the grinding tools for your grinding process and optimize their composition.
