HAND TOOLS

Scythes

Our scythes are imported from Austria and are, in our opinion, the best available in the world. They are used around Kaiwaka Organics and the Kohatu Toa Community to manage the orchards and for the work that a weed eater could be used for. They are a pleasure to use and maintain.

Scythe Snath (handle)

$199.00

The handle is made from light wood with adjustable hand holds so that the user can position them for their personal comfort.

Scythe Blades

Made from forged steel.

55cm Blade

$128.00

Wolf, our scything expert, recommends this blade for extensive areas of long grass - prgress can be made quickly with this long blade.

45cm Blade

$120.00

This is the length that works best in an orchard herbal ley situation. Good for cutting gnarly weeds and plants like blackberry.

Peening Jig

$164.00

Each time you use the scythe you usually give it a quick sharpen with a stone. After a lot of use, maybe once or twice a year your scythe blade will need peening. Peening keeps the blade strong and even takes out the nicks and damage that it incurs over time.

Round Sickle 

$56.50

CAMPBELL'S TOOLS

The Campbells have retired, so their tools are no longer available. Sorry.

NIWASHI

Right and Left handed Niwashi

$36.00

Niwashis have become the most often used tool in our gardens. With a wooden handle and a quality steel blade, they are excellent for weeding paths, buttercup, beds etc. We

sharpen ours regularly with the small stones (also available).

They are strong and last well.

Long Handled Niwashi

$71.00

As above but with a long wooden handle. Great for those that don't want to bend.

These are right handled.

Garden Sharks

$29.50

Garden sharks feel like they have been designed for the sort of weeding that you end up with often that need the sharks'teeth: heavy thistles, long grass around trees and steep banks.

They are like a hand weed-eater - very appropriate technology

Grubber - Short Handle

$46.50

Sharpening Stones

$30.00

We use our stones constantly. Keep them in a jar of meths to stay clean and ready to use. Niwashi's, secateurs, spades and scythes are all sharpened with these stones.

KINSO SHOVEL & SPADES

Strong hardened steel handles, shafts and blades. Light but tough.
