Tsurugi 270-10 Curved Hand Saw
The Tsurugi Curve range introduces a curved 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 Curve Large Teeth can be identified by its red handle and is available in 3 different blade lengths (210mm, 270mm and 330mm.) The tooth configuration is a more aggressive cut at 7.5 teeth per 30mm for a smooth finish when cutting dryer and/or harder wood.
The Tsurugi Curve Medium Teeth can be identified by its bright yellow handle and is available in 3 different blade lengths (210mm, 270mm and 330mm.) 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 straight version of the saw – Tsurugi.
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. The opening of the holster is equipped with 6 small rollers to reduce damage by the sharp teeth and the grip sits firmly in the holster to prevent it falling out at inconvenient times.
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.
