SILKY F180-7.5 Folding Pruning Saw - Professional Folding Saws

Additional Information for the SILKY F180-7.5 Folding Pruning Saw

Chrome Coating

The chrome plating on the saw blade makes the surface of the blade extremely hard and longwearing, while reducing frictions and increasing the lifetime of the blade. Furthermore, the chrome plating protects the blade from rusting and resin. Before applying the chrome plating, Silky polishes the blade as smooth as silk. This makes that the blade encounters even less resistance in the wood while sawing.

Impulse Hardened

The tips of the teeth are heated up to a very high temperature for a split second. As only the tip (or in other words the cutting part) of the tooth is heated, the rest of the tooth keeps its cutting quality but also its flexibility. Induction hardened teeth have a lifespan of three times that of non-treated teeth. They cannot be sharpened and are recognizable by the black teeth tips.

MlRAl-ME Patented Tooth Technology

The razor sharp teeth are ground in the blade with precision, each with 3 cutting edges and an extremely smooth surface as a result. For an optimal discharge of saw dust, one of every so many teeth (depending on the saw model) has been ground to the outside. This unmatched patented MIRAI-ME technology makes it possible to use the saw for 3 types of sawing: crosscutting (perpendicular to the grain), rip-cutting (parallel to the direction of the grain) and diagonally. During pruning activities the smooth saw cut will allow the tree wound to overgrown easily. Within carpentry, the smooth saw cut gives a fine finish, so that sanding is hardly necessary.

Non-Set Teeth

The teeth are ground in the blade with precision, each with 4 cutting surfaces. The teeth are “non- set” (in compare to a classic Western saw), so that the cutting surface cuts straight into the wood, and destroys about 50% less wood cells in the process. The blades are ground biconcave: the bottom part of the blade is thickest, the top part slightly thinner and the blade is thinnest in the middle.

“GOM” Handle 

The GOM rubber handle absorbs sawing vibrations and offers a superior grip, even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves. Moreover, this handle always feels comfortably warm, even in extremely cold temperatures.
