Gomtaro 10230 Large Teeth Silky Pruning Saw - Black

Perfect for spoon carving

This is one mean saw. Throw away all your other wood saws, bow or otherwise, and try this one. The Japanese have come up with a fiendishly clever product that does what it says on the tin. The only caveat is that you should have a firm grip on both saw and the trunk/branch/baulk from which you are sawing off the piece that you want to remove - and wear heavy gloves ! Its so sharp that even a slight touch from the double blades will cut you. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I thoroughly reviewed the range of saws that were out there, looking for a top quality product.I'd never heard of Silky, but the experts were lavish in their praise of the company. They were not wrong.You can't compare this saw with the sort of thing you find in the DIY stores - this is on a different level.It actually does the job with the minimum of effort, making pruning a pleasure.Can't recommend it highly enough - expensive, but worth every penny.

this is my second Silky saw, these are really the best garden saw available, they last for years, retain their sharpness and although comparatively expensive fully justify the small extra pricing, ultimately good value.

Simply a fantastic tool. So much better than pruners or loppers and so sharp. Not a lot else to say.

Wouldn't be caught up a tree without it

I use my hand saws for pruning fruit trees of all ages. The Silky Gomtaro is a very good sharp saw, it makes swift cuts and is excellent for pruning branches of about 2cm and larger. I still prefer my ARS PS-30KL saw for smaller diameter branches and also like the well-shaped wooden handle of the ARS PS-30KL. The ARS is a slower than the Silky Gomtaro, but it makes a smoother cut on small branches. The Silky Gomtaro is much faster on larger diameter branches, so it is great for renovative pruning, but I would stick to my ARS PS-30KL for making finer cuts on younger trees

I volunteer at a Nature Reserve and one of our Rangers had one of these. I borrowed it and was utterly amazed at how good it was, far better than a bow saw.Consequently I treated myself and I'm delighted.
