Silky Fox Release New 'How To Use Your Silky Saw' Guide

24 April 2023

Instructions on how to use your Silky Saw.

1. Silky saws are designed to cut on the pull stroke. The thin blades will not bow because they are under tension while being pulled across the surface to be cut. If your saw ever becomes caught in a branch squeeze DO NOT PUSH HARD and NEVER WRENCH OR TWIST THE HANDLE. These actions may damage the blade. Always lift the weight off the blade to release the saw.

2. Silky’s precision engineering results in a fine kerf. Very little force is needed to saw. So do not use muscle to speed up your sawing. LET THE SAW DO THE WORK for you while you pull it across the wood.

3. Impulse hardened blades cannot be re-sharpened by a hand file.

4. Keep your blades clean by using solvent. Keep the solvent away from the handle.

5. When not in use, store the saw in a protective sheath and away from moisture.

6. Silky is not responsible for any damage resulting from the misuse of Silky saws.

New Ibuki Available Soon

13 July 2017

The new Ibuki has a larger teeth configuration (5.5 teeth per 30mm) than the current model (6.5 teeth per 30mm) to saw even faster. The blade is equipped with Silky’s unique Mirai-Me teeth (previously 4-RETSUME teeth) for a smoother sawing motion and cleaner finish. The blade has been engraved on the other side and ‘Professional’ has been added. The scabbard has become red instead of black and is therefore more visible. The leg straps will no longer be standard delivered in the package. These will have to be ordered separately. The blade of the Ibuki saw can also be attached to Hayauchi Pole saws. The new Ibuki is available in one length – 390mm and the teeth ratio is set to 5.5 teeth per 30mm. The old Ibuki is still available and comes with a 6.5 teeth per 30mm blade. Both Ibuki versions come with a comfortable rubber handle and a custom made, durable polypropylene holster which can be attached to a belt with slots for leg straps.
