Choosing Sustainability

These blades are light and have a hooked curve at their extremity, for the last six inches or so. In open field mowing this helps distribute the burden of the work more evenly along the whole length of the blade, whereas a blade with an even curve invites a disproportionate amount of the cutting at the front end. The hook-nose also makes it easier to work along fence lines without snagging the blades. The tip does not curve upwards as much as on other models: this facilitates the even cut necessary for lawns.

Many accomplished mowers prefer this style of blade, (it is the blade of choice in Austria, but it is less forgiving if you are making mistakes. It is particularly important to ensure that the blade is attached at the correct angle for your stance (instructions are provided).
