Gomtaro Range

The Gomtaro Pro Sentei range offers a dual purpose pruning saw with both fine and coarse teeth on the same blade. The coarse teeth (8 teeth per 30mm) run down the length of the blade from the handle before changing to a finer teeth ratio of 14 teeth per 30mm towards the tip of the blade. This versatile saw can easily be used to cut both large and small branches and also produce an extra smooth finish when required.

The Pro Sentei comes in 2 blade lengths – either 240mm or 300mm.

The wider Gomtaro range also includes the Gomtaro Root saw, the double edged Gomtaro 2dangiri saw, Gomtaro Fine as well as the traditional Gomtaro.

The saws come with a comfortable rubber handle and a custom made, durable black polypropylene holster which can be attached to a belt or leg strap.

The saws are designed to have replaceable blades and all other parts are also available.

Silky Saws are traditional Japanese pruning saws and as such are designed to cut on the pull stroke. The blade will be under tension on the cutting stroke and will not be able to bow.

Let the saw do the work.

Never force the blade on the push stroke as you will be pushing against the direction of the teeth. Carefully take the pressure off the blade in order to release the saw.

Generally you should experience fewer vibrations and use less effort enabling longer work and improved productivity.

The saw should be cleaned of any debris/dirt. Ideally the blade should be cleaned with a solvent being careful to keep it away from the handle - this will help prolong its useful life. Store away from moisture.

Gomtaro blades cannot be re-sharpened due to the use of electro-impulse hardening in the manufacturing process.

WARNING. NEVER CUT DIRECTLY ABOVE YOUR HEAD. Always consider where the falling branches will land on the ground. We strongly recommend the use of protective hard hats and glasses.

WARNING. Silky Saws are extremely sharp so please be careful when using and keep away from children.

Silky Saws are manufactured from SK-4 carbon steel and cut out by 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 'Mirae-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.
