SilkyGOMTARO Professional Hand Saw 270mm Large Teeth (102-27)

Where do I start? Oh yeah, with the poor little oak sapling that was encroaching on my fence. When I unsheathed this Silky beast, I swear I saw the leaves tremble in fear ( either that or it was a stiff breeze brought on by the cold front heading through SC). So, I attacked the HUGE 1" beast and was amazed that after one pull it sliced through the trunk like a PO'd beaver. On to a MASSIVE 3" sweet gum and only 5 strokes to unleash the damage that this aggressive saw is said to have. All kidding aside, this is an awesome saw and now that I have used it to clear small trees all weekend, I couldn't speak more highly of it. I even cut through an ol cedar post, and even though it took more than a few strokes, it still cut faster than my aggressive tooth hand saw. The kind that old timers used to build houses in the 50's, only newer. If you're debating buying this because of the price, throw caution to the wind, don't tell the wife, and do it. You will be glad you did.

I bought my first Gomtaro saw about 20 years ago and am still using it - same blade - same handle. I can't say that about ANY other tree saw I've purchased. Most lasted a season and then needed a new blade; or I broke the handle in regular use.I'm buying another Gomtaro - just like the first - as a backup. After all, this one can't last forever - can it?!?!?

We were advised to purchase this by a tree surgeon friend of ours.It is very sharp and worked wonders on our overgrown privet hedge.You would be well advised to wear gloves as the blade on this is very sharp.Really pleased.(...and thanks for the tip, Richard)

What an amazing saw. Tested it on a 10" Apple log and it went through in under 4 minutes. A joy to use and it requires so little effort. Came from Italy in 5 days - very impressive!

Excellent saw and holster so sharp!! Makes pruning a doddle. The main difference between this silky saw and other silky's is the straight blade which helps you get into places a curved one can't.

Excellent saw, cuts through thick branches with little effort. Most of the cut is done on the backwards stroke and only a little pressure is required.

Questo segaccio lo paragonerei ad un bisturi da quanto è preciso e pulito nel taglio. Ancora più impressionante è la facilità di taglio: nell'utilizzo va totalmente assecondato, tirando con leggermente senza premere o schiacciare, perché non si ottiene nulla di più che aumentare la fatica. La progressione nel taglio è continua e senza incertezze, e senza dubbio alleggerisce di molto il lavoro. Il rischio è quello di eccedere nella potatura perché non è più il dispendio di energie il metro di valutazione dei lavori. Vale i soldi spesi (molti...). Consigliato
