Silky Saws
Professional Silky Saws for Arborists
Silky is the gold standard in professional-grade hand saws for arborists, tree climbers, and groundsmen. Engineered in Japan with impulse-hardened teeth and razor-sharp precision, Silky saws are built to perform in demanding field conditions — from canopy pruning to ground-level limbing.

Why Arborists Choose Silky
- Impulse-hardened teeth — stay sharp longer and resist bending under load
- Taper-ground blades — reduce binding and friction for faster, cleaner cuts
- Ergonomic handles — designed for extended use with reduced hand fatigue
- Made in Japan — precision manufacturing with strict quality control
Silky Saw Categories
- Folding Hand Saws — compact and safe for climbing, ideal for one-handed use in the canopy
- Pole Saws — extended reach for high-limb pruning from the ground or aloft
- Fixed-Blade Saws — maximum rigidity for heavy-duty cutting tasks
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Silky saws different from standard pruning saws?
Silky saws use impulse-hardened, razor-cut teeth that are significantly sharper and more durable than conventional saws. The taper-ground blade geometry reduces friction and binding, allowing faster cuts with less effort — critical for arborists working at height.
Which Silky saw is best for tree climbing?
The fixed-blade Silky Zubat is by far the most popular climbing saw among professional arborists — carried in a scabbard on the saddle for fast, one-handed cuts aloft. Folding models like the Pocketboy and Gomboy are popular as compact backup saws in the gear bag.
Are Silky saw blades replaceable?
Yes. Most Silky saws feature replaceable blades, making them a cost-effective long-term investment for professional arborists.
Do Silky saws meet ANSI or OSHA standards?
Silky saws are professional-grade tools widely used in ANSI Z133-compliant arborist operations. Always follow your employer's PPE and tool-use policies when working aloft.
