Small anvil for the whetting (sharpening) of scythe or flemish scythe. The whetting anvil is an iron pin tapering downwards, with a flat square steel head (approx. 3-5 cm). Sometimes the head is also wedge-shaped or both shapes are combined. Approximately in the center of the pin is an opening through which an iron or wooden cross pin protrudes to prevent the whetting anvil from being driven too deep into the ground during the bristle. In our regions, the mower sits on the ground, with the whetting anvil between the legs. The scythe is placed on the anvil and hit with a hammer. With a whetting hammer on the flat-headed hair shovel, with a bench hammer on the wedge-headed hair shovel. [MOT

Hammer (approx. 400-600 gr) with double pin and short (approx. 20 cm) wooden handle. In addition to the whetting anvil, the whetting hammer is part of the whetting utensils with which one sharpens the cut of the scythe or flemish scythe by hitting it thinly. In this work, the mower strikes the blade, always in the direction of the cut, causing the hammer to drop parallel to the blade and the edge. Can be distinguished from the sawset hammer, which is lighter and has a longer handle. [MOT]
