Tsurugi

The Silky Tsurugi range introduces a straight saw with a very
narrow blade which is ideal for pruning dense trees and enables
the user to get into tight areas such as the fork of a branch.
Due to Silky’s renowned design skills there is no compromise to
either the strength of the blade or its cutting ability. Tsurugi
actually means ‘long sword’ in English.
The Tsurugi Large Teeth can be identified by its red
handle and is available in 3 different blade lengths
(200mm, 300mm and 400mm.) The tooth configuration is a slightly
more aggressive cut at 8 teeth per 30mm for a smooth finish when
cutting dryer and/or harder wood.

The Tsurugi Medium Teeth can be identified by its bright
yellow handle and is available in 3 different blade lengths
(200mm, 300mm and 400mm.) The teeth are set at 10 teeth per 30mm
for a even smoother finish when cutting dryer and/or harder wood.

There is also a curved version of the saw – Tsurugi
Curve.

The saws come with a comfortable handle which is composed of 2 parts and enables a replacement blade to be fitted without tools. The saw comes with a specially designed aluminium holster which can be attached to a belt and there are slots for leg straps.

Tsurugi blades cannot be re-sharpened due to the use of electro-impulse
hardening in the manufacturing process. The saws are designed
to have replaceable blades and all other parts are also available.
