What are the main features of the Silky Gomboy Curve Professional folding pruning saw?

The Silky Gomboy Curve Professional folding pruning saw is made from SK-4 Japanese steel that folds into the rubber handle simply and easily with a press-down metal fastener. It has an overall weight of 235g and a blade length of 210mm. The blade is chrome plated to be durable whilst still providing flexibility and the teeth are made of impulse hardened steel which stays sharp up to three times longer than non-hardened teeth. The teeth are taper ground to reduce resistance and give a smoother, more efficient cut. The rubber handle is shaped and micro-textured for a good grip.

What’s the Silky Gomboy Curve Professional folding pruning saw like to use?

The curve of the blade combined with its length makes short work of woody stems and branches, whether green or dead. The long curved blade allow access to tricky spots such as in corners and hard to access branches and this is helped by a choice of two cutting positions. Both handle shape and material give a good grip, even when wet, and it's also sufficiently long to use two-handed. The blade folds into the handle easily with a simple press catch.

Who is the Silky Gomboy Curve Professional folding pruning saw most useful for?

This saw is ideal for tackling a wide range of pruning jobs on woody trees and shrubs. The efficiency of use and high quality materials make it an ideal choice for doing a lot of pruning.

Is the Silky Gomboy Curve Professional folding pruning saw good value for money?

Whilst this saw is one of the most expensive, the price is worth it for its efficiency and durability, especially if you have lots of pruning to do. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers errors in materials or construction, but not wear and tear from use.
