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. Furthermore, a straight blade is easier to use in tight spaces and close to the ground.
The fine teeth of this pull saw is ideal for seasoned wood, such as beech, oak and fruit trees. The fine teeth grab the wood with ease and will leave an extremely smooth tree cut that will easily be overgrown. The tree will be grateful! The kerf is even smaller than the Gomtaro with large teeth, creating less resistance while sawing and leaving fewer damaged wood cells. The Gomtaro with fine teeth is the choice to make when workmanship is more important than speed. If you use Silky for the first time, then be aware of this razor-sharp saw!
The rubber casted handle lays comfortably in your hand and absorbs all vibrations. You will realize that your lower arm and the saw are perfectly balanced out. If you use this saw next to the Gomtaro with large teeth, then this saw is easily recognizable on the silver bolts.
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.
