Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Silky Sugoi 360 compare to the Silky Zubat 330?
The Sugoi 360 has a longer 14.2" blade vs the Zubat’s 13" blade, and its teeth are specifically designed for chip removal on larger diameter cuts. The Zubat is the most popular all-around arborist saw; the Sugoi is preferred when tackling larger limbs where maximum cutting efficiency matters. Many arborists carry both.
Why do some arborists not carry a chainsaw when using the Sugoi?
The Silky Sugoi’s chip-removal tooth design and large curved blade produce cutting speeds that rival small chainsaws on branches up to a certain diameter. For arborists doing precision canopy work where a chainsaw would be cumbersome or unsafe, the Sugoi provides enough cutting power to handle most cuts from the saddle.
Does the Silky Sugoi 360 come with a scabbard?
Yes. The Silky Sugoi 360 includes a high-visibility scabbard that can be attached to the climber’s saddle or leg for convenient access while climbing.
Can the blade on the Silky Sugoi 360 be replaced?
Yes. Genuine replacement blades for the Silky Sugoi 360 are available separately (SKU HS-391-36), allowing you to extend the life of your Sugoi handle when the blade wears out.
