SilkyZubat 270-30 300mm Curved-Blade Saw with Scabbard

An excellent saw that makes easy work of garden pruning, including felling small trees.

I had seen several posts on reddit recommending this saw but was cynical it would be as good as the reviews.I’m sorry Silky Zubat, I wasn’t familiar with your game.took me about 15 minutes to cut through several large tree limbs up to about 7/8” thick, it was more or less effortless and each back stroke cuts through an unreal amount.It’s easy to grip and feels very well built despite looking quite small initially.

An excellent piece of work. Excellent quality, extremely sharp, designed to cut on the pull back stroke making cutting less strenuous and tiring. I can cut all day with it and hardly tire. 6”- 8” logs.. “no problem”. Perfect for our camping trips. Comes with an awesome sheath that won’t drop out when holding it upside down buy the sheath. If you in to cutting wood for fires/whatever, this is the answer.

Simply amasing! The overall length is perfect for all general pruning tasks and sufficient to cut through 200mm branches with ease. This is high-end professional-grade equipment, just not cheap. You get what you pay for.The locking sheath is exceptionally robust and functional, easily hung on a belt with optional leg strap slots. The handling and whole feel of this saw is wonderful, and should last a lifetime for most gardeners. More extensive use might need a new blade now and again and these are available.Just please be respectful and careful when using. This Silky Zubat Pro is sharp and potentially dangerous.

I am not a frequent reviewer but felt I had to write about this hand saw. Yes, it seems expensive but when I saw the reviews and knew what I needed it for - I took the plunge and have not been at all disappointed. It has the materials and design to make all garden sawing easy and quick - and although it also has the potential to remove human digits and limbs, if used properly it will speed up all those garden lopping/pruning jobs.The blade is designed to only cut when moving one way - pulled towards you - but that is all it needs and it prevents any bending or sticking of it as you try to push. The holster is a real must-use, to prevent unintentional self mutilation, but again is brilliantly designed to keep the saw close and accessible, but safe.I have been using it to this trim down some sizeable damp willow saplings - like the proverbial knife through butter. After use a quick wipe over with oil/WD40Wear some proper clothing and gloves, and using this tool will speed up and ease your lopping jobs.

Highly recommend great product and value for money.

As an arborist I have used Silky products for many years and they are of the highest quality professional level. They are so sharp and comfortable to use. They stay sharp providing you only cut of the down stroke as it is designed to. Ensure that only wood is cut and avoiding nails and other materials that will ruin the blade. The blade is thin so if you try and cut on the up stroke the blade is likely to bend. Replacement blades are easily put on.Although slightly too big I never the less use it when tree climbing with rope and harness as when pruning it is often quicker to make a branch cut using the Silky rather that starting the chainsaw. It is perfect for ground based cutting.I also have a Silky Hayauchi extending pole saw and that is equally fantastic product.

I purchased this upon a personal recommendation,We often - as a fishery owner have to trim trees etc whilst perched 20’ up a tree with a small chainsaw,This was handed to me last time which I had no believe in, however this goes through 8” branches easily whilst perched 15’ up a tree, I’m certain it will also take on thicker branches the only limit is the length of the blade (330mm) or the strength of your arms,The cut is magnificent clean sharp and easy, cutting on the pull rather than the push, which is surprisingly easy,This is so much safer and easier we no longer use the chainsaw for these types of cuts,The saw comes with a handy plastic belt clip saw holder,I’ve used this saw for several months now and it remains as sharp today as the day I purchased it,If your a professional woodsman, gardener, or DIYer this saw is definitely for you,I’m a carpenter by trade so know my saws, I just wish they made hand saws this way,On reflection, I did feel it was a little pricey, however the quality and ease of use definitely fits the costA wise investment,
