The Silky Takkenzaag Gomtaro 240-8 is a Japanese pruning saw with a straight blade designed for general cutting tasks and tree maintenance. This model features a blade length of 24 cm and a coarse tooth configuration of 8 teeth per 30 mm, optimized for cutting fresh wood. It includes a sturdy belt pouch with a quick-release for convenient transport. The Gomtaro series, part of Silky's essential range of straight-blade pruning saws, is widely regarded by professionals as a fundamental part of their toolkit. The advanced Mirai-Me tooth design, where the teeth are integrated into the blade thickness, allows for effortless cutting through wood and results in a smooth cut surface. Made from a special steel alloy, the blade is a single piece that extends into the handle, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and perfect balance. A hard chrome coating protects against rust and resin adhesion, providing a highly wear-resistant surface. The rubber-coated handle offers a comfortable grip and significantly reduces vibrations. The saw fits perfectly into a custom-made black plastic sheath with a detachable belt holder that can be attached to the leg or belt and features a bottom opening for draining moisture and sawdust. Available in six blade lengths from 180 mm to 330 mm and two tooth configurations, the coarse tooth version is suitable for fresh wood, while the fine tooth version with 13 teeth per 30 mm is ideal for drier and harder woods, such as those found in fruit trees.
