The Silky Takkenzaag Gomtaro 270-8 is a professional Japanese pruning saw with a straight blade design optimized for general pruning and tree care. With a blade length of 27 cm and a coarse tooth configuration of 8 teeth per 30 mm, this saw is specifically designed for efficient cutting of fresh wood. The advanced Mirai-Me tooth profile integrates teeth ground directly into the blade thickness without traditional tooth setting, resulting in exceptionally smooth cutting behavior and clean cut surfaces. Made from a special steel alloy, the continuous blade extends into the handle, ensuring excellent balance and long-lasting sharpness. A hard chrome plating protects the blade from rust and resin adhesion while enhancing surface durability. The ergonomic rubber handle provides a comfortable grip and significant vibration reduction during use. This model includes a custom black plastic sheath with a removable belt holder, featuring drainage holes at the bottom to allow moisture and sawdust to escape. The sheath can be securely attached to the leg with available Silky leg straps or to a standard belt. The Gomtaro series is available in six blade lengths ranging from 180 mm to 330 mm with two tooth configurations: the coarse version with 8 teeth per 30 mm for pruning fresh wood and the fine version with 13 teeth per 30 mm for cutting drier, harder woods such as fruit trees. This professional pruning tool is recognized worldwide by tree care professionals and forestry specialists as an essential part of their basic equipment for its reliable performance and precise cutting characteristics.
