Japanese saws have a reputation for their clean cutting performance. A cleaner cut lessens the likelihood of disease entering the tree through the wound. This is an ideal saw for pruning fruit trees or trimming a rogue branch. Lightweight with a narrow blade, it is handy if you need to take it up a ladder to trim branches. The universal ground cutting teeth produce fast results. The die-cast aluminium handle has an elastomer grip, giving you better control and a more secure grip. When not in use the blade folds into the handle protecting the teeth. Folded, the saw fits easily into a toolbox or a deep pocket. The compact size makes it a good addition to anyone’s camping equipment. The blade locks in position when open with a choice of 2 positions for cutting convenience. The blade is 210mm long and 0.9mm thick with a 1.18mm kerf and a 3.0mm pitch. It stays sharp and cuts quick, what more can you ask for?
