Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Silky Gomtaro 300 used for?
The Silky Gomtaro 300 is a professional arborist pruning saw designed for precise cuts in the tree canopy. Its straight blade is particularly valued for hinge wood manipulation — allowing the climber to control the direction of a falling limb by maintaining a straight back cut. It is also used for general pruning and limb removal where a clean, controlled cut is required.
Why use a straight blade saw instead of a curved blade?
A straight blade like the Gomtaro 300 gives arborists greater control over hinge wood during directional cuts. The straight geometry allows the saw to track a consistent line through the wood, which is essential when precision matters — such as when removing large limbs close to the trunk or performing notch and back cuts. Curved blades are generally faster for general pruning but offer less control on precision cuts.
What blade length is the Silky Gomtaro 300?
The Silky Gomtaro 300 has a 300mm (12-inch) blade with an overall length of 17.13 inches.
Is the Silky Gomtaro 300 suitable for professional arborists?
Yes. The Silky Gomtaro 300 is a professional-grade arborist pruning saw made by Silky, Japan’s leading manufacturer of high-performance hand saws for tree care professionals. It is widely used by certified arborists for precision canopy work and directional limb removal.
