Looking for a scythe?
Scythe Works has a complete offering of European-style Scythes outfits and all needed accessories.
Scythe Works is operating out of Victoria, BC, Canada since 2007.
At ScytheWorks, personal service has always been an essential part of my scythe-business activities. Providing proper fit and function is the primary goal. Every scythe outfit ordered from ScytheWorks is custom-fitted for the user’s height, with extra attention given to the optimal pairing of blade and snath. All products are carefully inspected before shipment.
Tariff Update for my U.S. Customers (February 23, 2026):
A new 15% global import duty has been announced on all shipments to the United States. At the time you place your order, 15% of the total order amount will be collected. This amount will include the applicable clearance fees.
Supreme Court Ruling: On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump overstepped his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad “global tariffs”.
New 15% Global Tariff: In immediate response to the court ruling, the administration announced a new 15% global import duty on February 22, 2026. This is a temporary measure (valid for 150 days) implemented under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Halt of Old Collections: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will officially stop collecting the now-illegal IEEPA tariffs at 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
No More Duty-Free: The $800 USD duty-free threshold (Section 321) remains suspended as of August 2025.
Upfront Payment Required: For postal shipments (e.g., via Canada Post), all duties must now be assessed and prepaid before the package crosses the border.
ScytheWorks is a one-man operation. Usually, I start working on your outfit within a few days. However, it will take longer during a busy summer season before I get to the order.
I’m working on the orders in the sequence I’ve received them. Once the package is sent, you’ll receive the tracking number from Canada Post.
I ask my customers to take the time to inform themselves about what they might need. There is good material posted in The Big Book of the Scythe for everyone to make tentative choices of what they might need, and then I don’t mind giving feedback if necessary.
