Silky TAKERUBOY

Silky TAKERUBOY 240-18 is a woodworking pull saw with two edges on one blade. Includes an edge for cross-cutting and a separate edge for ripping.

Two blade lengths available:

• 240mm (9 1/2")
• 270mm (10 1/2")

With its FINE teeth specification, its best considered as a woodworking saw cutting dry clean wood.

The blade is manufactured from SK-4 carbon steel and cut out by a 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 'Mirai-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 ‘butterfly’ handle collapses covering each edge when not in use. The robust aluminium handle features an anti-slip rubber coating.

Folds compactly down to only 300mm (12") for storage, protecting the edges from damage.

Blade length: 240mm (9 1/2") OR 270mm (10 1/2")

For the 240mm Takeruboy, overall length when folded 300mm (12"), when unfolded 590mm (23 1/4") 

For the 270mm Takeruboy, overall length when folded 330mm (13"), when unfolded 590mm (24 1/4")

The blade is chrome plated which helps protect against rust and sap as well as providing additional strength. This helps extend the life of the blade.

Teeth per 30mm:   24
