Moku Folding Saw

Lovely little folding saw for fine pruning jobs in the garden, with specially shaped beechwood handle and a simple locking device to keep the blade in place. Ibara-me teeth are angled to cut both along and across the grain, giving a very fast, efficient action. Cuts on the pull stroke, like all Japanese saws.

Fits nicely in the Saw Holster or snuggled up with a pair of secateurs in the Double.

Tips:

Go steady.

Saw Care:

Japanese Pruning Saws are great. They cut on the pull stroke, not the push, which means the blade is under less pressure when cutting, and uses less energy, resulting in a far cleaner, faster cut. They whizz through green wood, but the blades are more fragile than traditional western saws and incorrect use can result in damage.

• Use a smooth, gentle sawing action, doing the cutting on the pull, and gliding back on the push
• Don’t let the weight of the branch pinch or catch the blade
• Don’t twist the blade while sawing
• Don’t use a small saw for a large job. Treat 1/3 of the length of the blade as the absolute maximum sensible cutting diameter
• Don’t use a large saw for a small job. A 12" blade will happily cut a 1/2" branch, providing the branch is rigid - but most 1/2" branches move around a lot, and don’t allow for accurate sawing. Use Secateurs or Loppers instead
