I have had some requests for information on competition scythe blades; mostly from people that make their own snaths and want to experiment with off-set snaths and longer blades. I can special order these competition blades, made my Schroeckenfux, from Austria. They are available in lengths 120cm to 145cm. I currently have a few 120cm blades. They are made of "Hartstahl", a specialty hardened steel, and are factory sharpened, and ready-to-mow. I will get longer blades, as us Americans figure out what to do with them.
Competition mowing with a scythe, is a big sport, in Europe. There aren't any leagues here in the U.S., but if anyone wants to start one, I can special order the super long competition blades from Austria, for you. Here's a very inspiring video of a champion European mower:
