Silky Blade Forester 380-7.5 complete

• 380 mm curved blade: The long, curved profile keeps more teeth engaged through the cut, helping the saw track smoothly in green wood and making branch work faster with less wasted effort.
• 7.5 teeth per 30 mm: This tooth pattern balances cutting speed and control, giving the Forester a practical bite for pruning and general outdoor cutting without feeling overly aggressive.
• Spring steel blade: Spring steel gives the blade the flexibility needed for demanding sawing work while maintaining the toughness required for repeated use in wood.
• Modular complete assembly: As a complete unit, this version combines blade and sheath in one package, making it straightforward to carry, store, and put into service as a replacement or working field saw.
• Polymer belt sheath: The supplied sheath protects the blade in transport and keeps the saw secure on a belt, which is especially useful when moving between cuts in the garden or on site.

About the Forester Series

The Silky Forester series is a line of fixed-blade pruning saws developed for users who need the reach, cutting speed, and control of a larger hand saw for demanding branch work. Positioned within Silky’s professional fixed-blade saw range, the Forester models are suited to arboricultural tasks, garden maintenance, and general outdoor cutting where a folding saw may be too compact for efficient work on thicker material.

A defining trait of the series is its emphasis on long curved blades and a tooth pattern designed to keep the cut moving cleanly through fresh wood. That geometry helps the saw stay engaged in the kerf and rewards a steady pull stroke with smooth progress. The Forester concept also reflects Silky’s Japanese sawmaking approach: practical cutting efficiency, lightweight construction, and a carry system that keeps a large blade protected yet ready for frequent use. In use, the series sits between compact pruning saws and larger pole-saw systems, offering a hand-operated solution for users who want strong cutting performance without the bulk of extended tools.

About the Silky Blade Forester 380-7.5 complete

The Silky Blade Forester 380-7.5 complete is built around a 380.00 mm curved blade, giving it the reach and stroke length needed for efficient work on branches and other woody material. That longer blade length helps maintain momentum through the cut, so the saw can remove material quickly while still feeling controlled in the hand. For pruning, garden maintenance, and general construction-related cutting, this makes the saw especially useful when a shorter blade would require more strokes and more repositioning.

Its 7.5 teeth per 30 mm pattern is aimed at practical all-round wood cutting, combining a positive bite with a finish that remains manageable in live wood. The spring steel blade adds the resilience needed for repeated sawing, while the laser-cut construction supports consistent tooth form and predictable cutting behaviour. A coated finish also helps protect the blade surface during regular outdoor use.

This complete version is not just a bare replacement blade. With its polymer sheath and belt-pouch carry format, it is easier to transport safely between jobs and keep close at hand while moving around a work area. The modular construction is equally practical for maintenance, allowing the saw to fit into a working system where parts can be replaced as needed. Altogether, this is a purpose-built fixed-blade pruning saw for users who value cutting efficiency, secure carry, and the familiar feel of a larger Silky hand saw.

About Silky

Silky’s origins date to 1919, when Katsuji Miyawaki began making saws in Kishi, Japan. The company remains closely associated with Japanese sawmaking and manufactures its saws in Ono, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Silky focuses on folding saws, fixed-blade saws, and telescopic pole saws for pruning, woodworking, and outdoor use, which makes the brand especially relevant in categories where cutting efficiency and tooth design matter more than broad multi-tool functionality.

Over time, Silky developed a reputation for refining both tooth geometry and production methods. Its product history includes the introduction of the Gomboy and Gomtaro lines in 1985 with rubber-clad handles, as well as earlier manufacturing advances such as an automatic saw-setting machine adopted in 1970. That background helps explain why Silky products are widely chosen by users who want a dedicated saw with a clear focus on clean, efficient cutting in wood.
