Know before you buy
The TSURUGI features an exceptionally slender blade profile that allows it to reach into tight, narrow crotches of trees where wider saws would get stuck. This design provides surgical precision without sacrificing the cutting power needed for larger branches.
Yes, the 300mm length is ideal for general garden maintenance and trimming larger limbs. Because it is one of the lightest saws in its class, it is particularly well-suited for extended use where reducing arm fatigue is a priority.
The handle is constructed with an integrated rubberized grip that locks onto the blade tang, eliminating the need for screws that can loosen or snag over time. This creates a seamless, ergonomic feel that is both durable and easy to maintain.
The 6.8 teeth per inch configuration is specifically engineered to clear sawdust efficiently, preventing the blade from binding in both soft, sappy woods and denser, harder timber. It is a versatile choice for a wide variety of pruning tasks.
The custom sheath is designed to hold the saw securely and features a belt clip for convenient access. It is built to protect the blade's rust-resistant coating and keep the teeth covered when you are moving between trees.
