Silky F180-7.5 folding hand saw

Silky F180-7,5 is a folding saw with a compact design, weighing just 150 g, designed for fresh and wet wood.

Professional hand saws of the Japanese brand Silky were created on the basis of a centuries-old tradition of manufacturing reliable cutting tools and a combination of modern technologies. This combination makes Silky tools achieve high strength and sharpness, which results in high cutting efficiency.

The Silky F180 series is a versatile wood saw with an extremely lightweight and handy design, which is perfect for outdoor applications, garden work and home DIY.

The blade of the Silky F180 saw has been precision laser-cut from high-carbon steel with high flexibility and high resistance to dulling. The surface of the blade is chrome plated, which protects it from corrosion, harmful effects of wood sap and weathering.

Silky saws are distinguished by an advanced tooth design and a "back-to-back" sawing technique for maximum comfort and minimal energy input. Sharp teeth for increased efficiency are ground in as many as four planes. Also important is the fact that only the edges of the teeth are subjected to induction hardening , so the rest of the blade is soft and flexible, thus protecting the saw from breaking during operation or improper use.

The cutting part has an hourglass shape, as a result, the blade does not lock up during cutting as is the case with most saws on the market. This distinctive tooth profile not only levels the resistance during chopping, it also makes the surface of the wood after cutting extremely smooth, without burrs or jagged edges.

The Silky F180 handsaw is equipped with a 180 mm long blade with a design of 7.5 teeth per 30 mm blade length. Such a blade is best suited for sawing fresh boughs of wood up to 90 mm thick.

The saw is folded in such a way that the aggressive teeth are safely hidden inside the handle. The locking mechanism allows you to lock the blade in two different positions, depending on the situation and working conditions.

The F180 uses a polypropylene handle with rubber inserts to absorb vibration and guarantee a high grip.

TheSilky F180-7.5 is a pocket-sized saw that is sure to appeal to all survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, hunters and those looking for a powerful tool for the garden or home workshop.

The Silky F180 saw has interchangeable blades, available from us.

Chrome plating of the blade makes the blade surface extremely hard and durable, while reducing friction and increasing blade life. In addition, chrome plating protects the blade from rust and resin. Before applying the chrome plating, Silky polishes the blade to a silk-smooth finish. This makes the blade encounter even less resistance in the wood when sawing.

The tips of the teeth are heated to a very high temperature for a fraction of a second. Since only the tip (or otherwise the cutting part) of the tooth is heated, the rest of the tooth retains its cutting quality, but also its flexibility. Induction-hardened teeth have three times the life of untreated teeth. They cannot be sharpened and can be recognized by the black tips of the teeth.

The razor-sharp teeth are precision ground into the blade, each with 3 cutting edges and resulting in an extremely smooth surface. For optimal sawdust evacuation, every so many teeth (depending on the saw model) is ground outward. This unrivaled, patented MIRAI-ME technology allows the saw to be used for 3 types of cutting: cross-cutting (perpendicular to the grain), rip-cutting (parallel to the grain direction) and mitering. During pruning work, a smooth saw cut will allow the tree wound to overgrow easily. In carpentry, a smooth saw cut provides an excellent finish, making sanding unnecessary.

The teeth are precision ground into the blade, each with 4 cutting surfaces. The teeth are "unspaced" so that the cutting surface cuts straight into the wood, destroying about 50% fewer wood cells. The blades are ground biconcave: the lower part of the blade (near the teeth) is thickest, the upper part is slightly thinner, and the blade is thinnest in the middle. This design has several advantages: Less power needed for sawing, discharges sawdust effortlessly (it won't get stuck in the wood), very clean saw cut - no breaking or tearing of the wood creates a very accurate, smooth saw cut.

GOM's rubber grip absorbs vibrations while sawing and provides an excellent grip, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. What's more, this handle always provides pleasant warmth, even in extremely cold temperatures.
