Silky Fox F180 Folding Saw for Wood/Brush Pruning
The F180 folding saw is a lightweight folding pocket saw aimed predominantly at the light pruning and gardening market.
- The blade is 180mm long with a large tooth configuration of 7.5 teeth per 30mm.
- Blade locks in two positions to allow flush cuts.
- The handle is constructed of fibreglass polypropylene with a rubber insert to ensure a comfortable and sure grip.
- An ideal cost-effective all-round folding saw that is always useful for all garden pruning tasks and outdoor projects.
- It is not possible to sharpen the blade but the saws are designed to have replaceable blades.
- Other parts are also available.
- There is just one screw to unwind in order to change the blade
- Silky Saws are manufactured from SK-4 carbon steel and cut out by a laser.
- The teeth are designed with no set which means they are formed inside the width of the blade - this reduces friction and enables a cleaner, faster and easier cut. Many other saws have teeth formed to project outside the width of the blade requiring much greater effort when sawing.
- There are 4 razor sharp cutting angles on the inside of each tooth. Silky call this 'Mirai-Me' and it enables the blade to cut smoothly through the branch, significantly reducing splintering and producing a very fine, smooth cut.
- The super fine cut destroys up to 50% less wood cells allowing the tree to heal faster and reduces the risk of disease.
- The manufacturing process also uses the technique of high-frequency electro-impulse hardening during which the teeth are heated and hardened. Importantly, only the teeth are hardened, not the rest of the blade. Thus the blade retains its original flexibility whilst the teeth have a life which is up to 3 times longer than that on standard saws.
- The blades are also chrome plated which helps protect against rust and sap as well as providing additional strength. This helps extend the life of the blade.
- Almost all Silky saws are fitted with a specially designed rubber 'Gom' handle which reduces vibration and improves grip, reducing the danger of slipping in wet conditions.
