The Gomboy range of folding saw offers a lightweight general purpose pruning saw.
The popular Gomboy folding saw is now available in a curved blade edition: the Gomboy Curve. Unique to the Gomboy series, is that both the straight and the curved blades are interchangeable.
The new Gomboy Curve folding saw will be available in one blade length: 210. The 210 edition will be delivered in a transparent plastic case that can be buckled to the belt. The large teeth (8 teeth per 30 mm) are well suitable for pruning in fresh wood.
It is not possible to sharpen the blade but the saws are designed to have replaceable blades. Other parts are also available. There is just one screw to unwind in order to change the blade.
Silky Saws are traditional Japanese pruning saws and as such are designed to cut on the pull stroke. The blade will be under tension on the cutting stroke and will not be able to bow.
Let the saw do the work.
Never force the blade on the push stroke as you will be pushing against the direction of the teeth. Carefully take the pressure off the blade in order to release the saw.
Generally you should experience fewer vibrations and use less effort enabling longer work and improved productivity.
The saw should be cleaned of any debris/dirt. Ideally the blade should be cleaned with a solvent being careful to keep it away from the handle – this will help prolong its useful life. Store away from moisture.
Tsurugi blades cannot be re-sharpened due to the use of electro-impulse hardening in the manufacturing process.
WARNING. NEVER CUT DIRECTLY ABOVE YOUR HEAD. Always consider where the falling branches will land on the ground. We strongly recommend the use of protective hard hats and glasses.
WARNING. Silky Saws are extremely sharp so please be careful when using and keep away from children.
