Folding pruning saw for trees and shrubs

The narrow blade cuts on the pull stroke which allows for precision sawing and a cleaner, faster cut. Just be careful not to twist or snag it, this saw is all about positioning and care, instead of brut force.

Care + Use

Care & Safety:

Use a gentle sawing action to cut on the pull stroke and glide back on the push stroke.
By cutting on the pull stroke, Japanese saws are under less pressure and require less energy than traditional western blades, resulting in quicker cuts. However, the blades are also more fragile and require proper handling.
When sawing, don't twist the blade or let the weight of the branch pinch it.
The maximum cutting diameter for the saw is branches of 7cm. Don't try to use it on anything larger.
Equally, don't try to use it on branches that are too small. A lot of thin branches can move around which makes accurate sawing tricky. Use secateurs or loppers where appropriate instead.
Be careful not to snap the blade, which can happen through incorrect use or poor handling.
