The straight blade provides an even cleaner and more precise cut than a curved blade. This pull-stroke saw will leave a clean, smooth cut in the tree that will heal quickly. The tree will thank you for it!
A straight blade is easier to handle in tight spaces or close to the ground. The Gomtaro is recommended by qualified arborists and tree surgeons when topping trees. When making a felling cut, the straight blade helps you control the swaying branch while making a straight cut at the back. If you are using Silky for the first time, be aware that this saw is sharpened like a razor blade!
The physical demands on a climbing arborist require a saw that makes pruning easier. Therefore, professionals rightly choose Silky as their hand saw. Sawing with a Gomtaro requires little effort and goes so smoothly that there is no need to use a chainsaw. You have a compact tool at hand when a chainsaw is not available or when you can only use one hand. The rubber-coated handle is comfortable and absorbs vibrations. You will find that your forearm and the saw are in perfect harmony.
During the ascent you will not always be in very comfortable positions, but the Gomtaro will not let you down. The scabbard is designed so that the saw stays in place in all positions, and can also be drawn with one hand. Equip your Gomtaro with the optionally available leg straps and you will always have the saw within reach.
