Silky Gomtaro 240mm Saw

Product Information

The blades are also chrome plated which helps protect against rust and sap as well as providing additional strength. This helps extend the life of the blade.

This unique combination of different teeth on one blade is ideal for arborists wishing to combine a pruning saw with a pruning shear. Thinner branches can easily be pruned with the fine teeth of the Gomtaro Pro-Sentei without having to switch tools. There are 4 razor sharp cutting angles on the inside of each tooth. Silky call this 'Mirae-Me' and it enables the blade to cut smoothly through the branch, significantly reducing splintering and producing a very fine smooth cut. The super fine cut destroys up to 50% less wood cells allowing the tree to heal faster and reduces the risk of disease.The Gomtaro pruning saw is an essential piece of your equipment and a user’s first choice for formative pruning during the early years of a tree’s growth. The straight blade gives an even cleaner and more precise cut than a curved blade. The smooth tree cut that this pull saw leaves behind will easily be overgrown. The tree will be grateful! WARNING. Silky Saws are extremely sharp so please be careful when using and keep away from children. 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. While climbing you will not always move in the most comfortable positions. Even then, the Gomtaro will not let you down. The scabbard is designed in such a way so that it will hold the saw in all positions, but when needed you can pull the saw out with just one hand. Complete your Gomtaro with the available leg straps and you will always have the saw at arm’s length.

All saws from the Gomtaro series come with a lightweight, polypropylene scabbard with detachable belt holder. The scabbard is incorporated with two rollers to prevent the sharp teeth damaging the case. The bottom part is equipped with a hole that drains water and saw dust. Taper-Ground Design: The taper-ground blade reduces friction for smoother cutting without the need for set. The rubber casted handle feels comfortable and absorbs vibrations. You will notice that your lower arm and saw are perfectly balanced. The scabbard is designed in such a way so that the saw cannot fall out of it, but can still be pulled with just one hand when needed. With the available leg straps you can strap the Gomtaro Pro-Sentei to your lower leg to always have the saw at arm’s length. I could ask dealers and get all the usual sales blurb, but would rather consult the masses of Arbtalk and get a wider feel of what real life users think. A special edition within the Gomtaro family. The Gomtaro Pro-Sentei brings together large and fine teeth on one single blade. For the creation of the sawing cut for little twigs you can use the fine teeth on the last 80 mm of the blade. For the full use of this pull saw you use the large teeth to saw faster.Silky Saws are manufactured from SK-4 carbon steel and cut out by a laser. The teeth are designed with no set which means they are formed inside the width of the blade – this reduces friction and enables a cleaner, faster and easier cut. Many other saws have teeth formed to project outside the width of the blade requiring much greater effort when sawing.

Zubat looks to give more cutting power due to curved blade and slightly better access in between close branches. The scabbard is designed so that the saw can't fall out of it, but can still be withdrawn with just one hand when needed. With the available leg straps, you can strap the Gomtaro Root to your lower leg to always have the saw at arms length. The saw should be stored in the closed position and cleaned of any debris/dirt to ensure a smooth opening operation. 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. This saw is exceptionally stable due to its full tang blade. The rubber casted handle makes this saw extremely comfortable and helps reduce vibrations. You will notice that your lower arm and the saw are perfectly balanced.

Silky call this ‘Mirai-Me’ and it enables the blade to cut smoothly through the branch, significantly reducing splintering and producing a very fine, smooth cut. The super fine cut destroys up to 50% less wood cells allowing the tree to heal faster and reduces the risk of disease.
