Silky Katanaboy
Currently the biggest in its class, this heavy-duty folding saw has a resharpenable blade of superior quality steel. Easily competes with a chainsaw. Great for trail building & pruning. Two size options, including the very impressive 1000mm blade.
Silky saws cut as you pull the blade towards you. They do not cut on the forward or push stroke. Cutting on the pull stroke requires less energy and gives you more control over the action of the saw. The Japanese have always used the ‘pull saw’ technology as opposed to the Western ‘Push Saws’. The advantages are:
-
- Pulling places the saw under tension making it stronger
-
- Pushing compresses the blade meaning you can bend, buckle and possibly break the blade when cutting
-
- Pulling naturally straightens the cut as you pull towards the body
-
- Pull saws can be thinner steel, so as a result can make a cleaner line of cut

North Island Customers: Shipping costs can be significant (and sometimes exceed the plant value), so combining items into a larger order helps keep it cost-effective.
