Scythe Peening Jig
Item Number: 9040
Peening jig simplifies hammer sharpening of the scythe's cutting edge. The edge is thinned by cold working the metal with either a hammer and anvil or the use of this jig. The jig is mounted into a pre-drilled block of wood. The blade's edge is placed on the flat of the jig lightly touching the post. Cap #1 is put over the post and the blade is worked uniformly with a hammer making a primary bevel. Cap #2 is then used for the finishing bevel.
