Blade Peening Service

Learning to peen can seem a bit daunting to begin with.  Many will put off peening their blade for the first time, and as a result find that it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a sharp edge. If you find that mowing is becoming more of a struggle than it was with a fresh blade, it is telling you it is time to peen!

Help with Peening

To help get over this peening barrier and to progress with your scythe technique I offer a peening service which can restore your blade(s) and put you back on track.

The way to get best value from this service is to book an appointment to bring your blades to my scythe workshop in person. 

I will give your scythe and blade a full check-up and restore and peen your blade(s) with you. 

You can observe and get some pointers on peening for yourself.  I have grass in which you can test out your blade before you depart. 

You can also use this scythe clinic appointment to discuss any particular scythe related issues you have.

If, however you live too far away to travel to Norfolk, I can accept blades sent to me by post, peen them and return them to you by courier (price included in fee).  Please do contact me first before sending blades.

  • I offer a 25% discount on these prices for returning pupils and groups who have attended one of my scythe courses in the past year.
  • Standard prices assume that a moderate level of restoration is required. Badly damaged or worn blades may incur additional costs. I will advise you of this before I begin restoration, and we can discus options.  Contact me and send photos in the first instance if you are unsure.
  • Scythe clinic appointments nominally last up to 30 minutes for £30, 1 hour for £40. 
  • Contact me if you would like a longer session, a full peening course, or session to sort blades as a group.
