Silky GOMTARO Root-Cutting Saw 240mm Large Teeth (153-24)

I just love this saw, super sharp, cuts quick, well-made.

Where do I start? Oh yeah, with the poor little oak sapling that was encroaching on my fence. When I unsheathed this Silky beast, I swear I saw the leaves tremble in fear ( either that or it was a stiff breeze brought on by the cold front heading through SC). So, I attacked the HUGE 1" beast and was amazed that after one pull it sliced through the trunk like a PO'd beaver. On to a MASSIVE 3" sweet gum and only 5 strokes to unleash the damage that this aggressive saw is said to have. All kidding aside, this is an awesome saw and now that I have used it to clear small trees all weekend, I couldn't speak more highly of it. I even cut through an ol cedar post, and even though it took more than a few strokes, it still cut faster than my aggressive tooth hand saw. The kind that old timers used to build houses in the 50's, only newer. If you're debating buying this because of the price, throw caution to the wind, don't tell the wife, and do it. You will be glad you did.

Good tool

Tree roots broke one of my underground irrigation PVC pipes. Once I started digging there were roots everywhere. It soon became clear that I could not get to the broken pipe without cutting through several layers of roots. Making it even more difficult, it is in a very confined space next to a concrete wall with roots right up to the concrete underground and there were several other PVC pipes right next to the broken one that I do not want to accidentally cut. Two weeks had passed and I made very little progress. Then I bought this Silky root-cutting saw. Within days I cut all the roots I needed to cut without cutting the other pipes nearby and fixed the broken pipe. Most roots were about 3" in diameter but the main one was 5". Silky saw had no problem cutting them all and in most cases with little space to work with. I am very impressed with the saw.

On a volunteering event, I was introduced to this saw. I could only borrow it; even though after several uses, I wanted to take it home. I used the Silky Gomtaro for tree trimming at a park. The guy that recommended this particular brand to me, was working in the Tree Trimming department at our company. They have to trim trees year round. I refuse to buy an $8.00 handsaw when someone can purchase one of these....believe me, this will be the last you buy. Even though it's a bit more expensive, it is worth the quality of this saw. Not to mention, when trimming my own trees, I didn't have to work as hard as I would have with the cheap hand saw. The Silky, and I am sure ALL Silky saws cut like this one does. This is a decent size saw for taking down small to medium branches. I have had no issues, and I can attach it to my belt and climb with it without worrying about cutting myself. I recommend this saw to anyone.

Beautiful cuts

Works O.K., not as I expected.

Nice knife for the price. Only thing nicer would be if the blade was a little thicker but for the price I would definitely recommend.

Excellent saw and holster so sharp!! Makes pruning a doddle. The main difference between this silky saw and other silky's is the straight blade which helps you get into places a curved one can't.

Perfect replacement for your gomtaro, genuine razor sharp blade for cutting anything wood, more value than buying a new saw as the handle will last for years and remain comfortable for all uses. Big flat head screwdriver and careful pressure best for changing

Sulla qualità giapponese Gomtaro non si discute. Fedele compagno di potatura olivi e non solo. Lo uso da 22 anni e ne ho cambiate diverse di queste lame.

Se metti un po' di miscela al polso e mimi il rumore con la bocca praticamente è come utilizzare una motosega! Bilanciata e leggera taglia senza alcuna fatica; ho potato due alberi del mio giardino, arrivando a tagliare tranquillamente anche rami di 8-10 cm in posizione scomode. Un prodotto di qualità assoluta. Consiglio una pulizia adeguata dopo l'uso e un filo d'olio per proteggere la lama.

Excellent product top quality
