The Silky Gomtaro is a straight Japanese pruning saw with a one-piece blade, sold here in 180, 210, 240 and 300 mm lengths. It is a well-balanced everyday saw for pruning and landscape work.
All four have large teeth at 6.8 TPI, impulse hardened, non-set and ground with four cutting angles. The taper-ground blade is hard chrome plated, so it resists rust and tree resin and wipes clean. The blade runs into a molded rubber handle that grips well and cushions the cut.
Each saw comes with a sheath. Rollers in the sheath lock the saw in, and on current saws a notch in the handle locks into them, so the saw stays put in a tree. Replacement blades are stocked for every length.
